Ingredients

For the Crust:
Graham cracker crumbs, 2 1/4 cups
Unsalted butter, 1/2 cup, melted
Granulated sugar, 1/4 cup
Salt, 1/4 teaspoon
For the Filling:
Unsalted butter, 1 cup, softened
Cookie butter, 1/2 cup
Granulated sugar, 1 1/2 cups
Confectioners’ sugar, 1/2 cup
Large egg yolks, 4
Heavy cream, 1 cup
Pure vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon
Salt, 1/4 teaspoon
For the Whipped Cream:
Heavy cream, 1 cup
Granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons
Pure vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Let the crust cool completely.

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cookie butter until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add the granulated sugar and confectioners’ sugar, beating until well combined.

Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, followed by the heavy cream and vanilla extract.

Pour the filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set.

Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

To make the whipped cream, beat the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.

Spread the whipped cream over the cooled pie.

Refrigerate the pie for an additional 30 minutes to allow the whipped cream to set.

Release the springform pan sides and slice the pie into 10 pieces.

Serve chilled.

Notes

For an extra crunchy crust, bake it for 12 minutes instead of 10, but keep an eye on it to avoid burning. Make sure to let the crust cool completely before filling it to prevent the crust from getting soggy.

Use high-quality cookie butter for the best flavor.

If you can’t find cookie butter, you can substitute it with an equal amount of peanut butter or almond butter, but the flavor will be slightly different. Don’t overbeat the filling mixture, as it can lead to a too-light or too-airy texture.

For a golden-brown crust, use a mixture of white and brown sugar in the crust mixture.

Chill the pie for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. If you want a more stabilized whipped cream, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to the whipped cream mixture before beating.

To ensure the whipped cream is stiff, beat it until it forms stiff peaks, but avoid over-beating, as it will become too stiff.
