Notes

What kind of peanut butter should I use? While I would love to say using natural peanut butter with few ingredients is best, I have not tried that when developing this recipe. I used a name brand like JIF because the texture of it leads to a better solid filling. Feel free to let me know if you tried this recipe with a natural peanut butter.

Can I use Oreo or Other Cookies? Yes! Although using oreos would make this recipe not be gluten free, make sure you are using cookies that have a cream filling. The cream filling is what helps bind the crust with the butter and make it pliable enough to use.

Can I use Coolwhip instead of Heavy Whipping Cream or Whipped Cream? this recipe does not use coolwhip, but you can use it as an alternative in the pie filling.
