FROZEN BUTTERFINGER PIE — Cream cheese, whipped cream and Butterfinger candy bars come together in a chocolate crumb crust for a cool, creamy frozen pie everyone will love!
If you love Butterfinger candy bars and easy, no-bake summer desserts (and who doesn’t?), then this no-bake Frozen Butterfinger Pie is just the recipe for you!
I’m not even a huge Butterfinger fan and I thought this pie was pretty amazing! My boys–who are huge Butterfinger fans–really loved it!
And it’s so easy to make, they probably could have put it together themselves! I’m sure they would have especially loved the part where you crush the candy bars with a rolling pin!
Another great thing about this pie–you can make it ahead and keep it in the freezer for unexpected guests, or cravings.
If it’s been in the freezer for awhile though, you may need to let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes or so before serving.
I like to use a chocolate crumb crust in this recipe to compliment the chocolate in the candy bars, but if you prefer, a graham cracker crust is just as good.
If you’re thinking seven whole candy bars seems like an awful lot to add to a pie, I thought the same thing. But trust me, it’s perfect!
I haven’t tried making this particular pie with other candy bars, but I bet it would be just as delicious. In fact, I’m dreaming up a Frozen Kit Kat pie as we speak.
This easy summer dessert is sure to be a hit with your friends and family, and will be the first thing to disappear at you next backyard barbecue.
Of course, I think it’s a pie you should make all year long!

I love Butterfinger then now I can make it. Many thanks for your recipe, Danelle
Amy
Can you make this without corn syrup?
Danelle
Yes, the corn syrup stabilizes the whipped cream, so the only difference would be it may not set up quite as well.
S Sears
Can I substitute the Corn Syrup with Honey?
Danelle
I’ve never tried that, but I’d love to hear if it works for you.
Kristen
Why does ingredient list call for heavy cream? But in instructions says whipped cream? I’m not getting anything to work.
Danelle
You beat the heavy cream to make whipped cream. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
Amy
This was yummy but you really must grease the pie plate beforehand. The crust stuck to it like absolute cement.
Stacey
I made this tonight and it was a complete mess!! I followed as it stated but not sure if half and half is what i was supposed to use. I’ve used that before and never had an issue! And i seemed to have a ton of filling enough for two pies!! Hope it turns out it’s in the freezer now! I’m wondering if cool whip would work instead of heavy cream? That’s what i use for my root beer float pie and it works along with vanilla pudding! Anyway any tips would be great! Thanks!
Marcy
We always used softened vanilla ice cream and a graham cracker crust. Froze it, then topped with hot fudge sauce and squirty whipped cream
Barb
can you use cool whip instead of cream and corn syurp?
Danelle
Definitely!
