What is a “Fluffernutter”…?

Fluffernutter is the glorious combination of peanut butter and marshmallow cream. If you’re a peanut butter fan, I know you’ll love this creamy and rich, easy to make dessert!

Why This Recipe Works

This Peanut Butter Marshmallow Cream Pie recipe is unbelievable decadent. This filling is light, creamy, and wonderfully luscious.
The filling sits on a buttery, sweet graham cracker crust and is made very simply by combining the crushed cookie crumbs with melted butter. You can bake the crust which will give you a crisper pie crust or leave it unbaked. A no bake pie crust will be a softer crust.
This pie is velvety smooth and creamy and sweet but not overly sweet. It’s rich in peanut-buttery taste with the crunch of chopped peanuts scattered throughout.

Ingredient Notes

See recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.

Graham crackers: Use these along with melted butter and sugar to make a graham cracker crust (you may also use digestive biscuits, shortbread cookies, chocolate or vanilla wafers).
Marshmallow Fluff: Marshmallow Fluff is the key ingredient in a Fluffernutter. It’s usually found in the peanut butter aisle of your grocery store.
Heavy cream: I highly recommend using heavy cream of heavy whipping cream.
Cream cheese: Be sure to soften the cream cheese before using it so that it mixes easily with the other ingredients. You can leave it out on your kitchen counter for about 30 minutes or soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about 15 seconds, until just soft.
Powdered sugar: Also called confectioners’ sugar, it helps keep the pie silky smooth.
Peanut butter: Use smooth peanut butter, not chunky.
Milk: You may use 2% milk instead of whole. The pie filling will not thicken as well if you use milks with a lesser fat content.
Peanuts: Optional.

To Make The Pie Filling

Heat marshmallow fluff and 2/3 cup of heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. As soon as it is all melted and combined, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.(You may want to pour the marshmallow cream into a bowl and place it in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process).

Expert Tips

You can make a crushed cookie crust with just about any cookies. I love using graham crackers but feel free to experiment and use your favorite kind of cookie.
This pie is absolutely delicious without any added toppings. However, you might like to consider adding a dollop of whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or crushed peanuts to the top before eating.
If you’d like to make a chocolate peanut butter marshmallow pie, drizzle melted chocolate over the top before placing the pie in the refrigerator.
