    Butterfinger Dessert with Ice Cream

    Dec 29, 2020 · 2 Comments

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    My mom makes this butterfinger dessert every summer when our family from Canada comes to visit. I wouldn't recommend eating this butterfinger dessert lasagna outside in the summer though as that will cause the ice cream to melt faster. We eat this inside with the AC! Usually there are no leftovers because this is a huge hit. We also tend to make this recipe for people's birthday's within the family. This butterfinger dessert with vanilla pudding recipe makes about 15 servings.

    Why you should make Butterfinger cool whip dessert:

    This cake recipe would suit you well if you are a whipped cream or ice cream lover. It incorporates the classic butterfinger bar into a nice candy topping. This dessert with ice cream is kind of like an ice cream cake with a graham cracker crust! If you want more ideas to bake with butterfingers, click here.

    How to make butterfinger cake:

    • make graham cracker crust-stir together butter and 2 cups crushed graham crackers to form the crust. This is what will keep the bottom of the cake together. Pat this mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish
    • sprinkle 1 layer of candy bars onto the crust-the recipe requires you to cut the crushed butterfingers into 2 parts, so only add one part here
    • ice cream/pudding/milk layer-this layer will go on top the crushed candy bars laying on top the crust
    • spread on whipped cream layer
    • sprinkle on graham cracker/butter/remaining butter finger layer
    • finally, freeze for 2 hours. Let thaw for about 10 minutes before serving.

    Favorite ingredients to use for this Butterfinger dessert recipe:

    *graham crackers-provides a base for the butterfinger dessert
    *butter-stick or tub butter works
    *vanilla pudding-creamy top layer
    *milk- whole milk
    *ice cream-a hint of chill

    Variations of Butterfinger Dessert:

    • change base-you can change from graham crackers to a oreo crust or even use ritz crackers instead for a more buttery feel
    • change pudding-instead of vanilla pudding, you can make butterfinger dessert with butterscotch pudding instead. Other flavors of pudding work as well like peanut butter, carmel, or any other one of your choosing!

    How to store Butterfinger fluff dessert:

    I like to store this cake in the freezer until ready for eating. Before eating, let thaw out a few minutes so that it is easier to cut and scoop out of the pan.

      This dessert is my all-time favorite. It tastes like butterfingers but with the extra wow of whipped cream. I am a whipped cream fan so this is perfect. I eat at least four pieces at one time.
