Snickers Pie
Crust:
- 25 Oreo cookies (wafers and filling)
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (about 3 Snickers bars or 8–9 fun sized bars) chopped Snickers
- ⅔ cup (160 ml) peanut butter, smooth or crunchy
- 8 ounces (227 grams) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ⅓ cup caramel
Additional Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (83 grams) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ⅔ cup (160 ml) whipping cream (33-35% MF), cold from the fridge
Topping:
- Caramel sauce
- Hot fudge sauce
- Whipped cream
- Snickers bars
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed freezer bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Combine crushed cookie crumbs with melted butter, mixing thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Transfer the buttery crumb mixture into a lightly greased 9-inch (23 centimeters) pie plate, pressing evenly across the bottom and up the sides to create a uniform crust.
- Refrigerate the prepared crust while preparing the filling.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese and powdered sugar until silky and completely smooth.
- Incorporate peanut butter and caramel sauce into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring complete integration and scraping down bowl sides to eliminate potential cream cheese lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff, voluminous peaks form.
- Delicately fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, blending until no visible streaks remain.
- Gently fold chopped Snickers bars throughout the creamy filling.
- Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Cover the pie and refrigerate for minimum 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow complete setting.
- When ready to serve, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for cleaner, more precise slicing.
Notes
- Chilling is crucial for setting the pie’s structure and allowing flavors to meld together, so patience is key when preparing this dessert.
- Crushing Oreos thoroughly ensures a smooth, consistent crust that holds together perfectly and provides a delicious chocolate base.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and achieve a silky smooth filling that blends seamlessly with other ingredients.
- Chopping Snickers bars into small, uniform pieces helps distribute the candy’s flavor and texture evenly throughout the pie.
- Whipping cream to stiff peaks creates a light, airy texture that makes the filling incredibly creamy and decadent.
- Always scrape down the bowl’s sides while mixing to incorporate all ingredients completely and avoid any unwanted cream cheese clumps.
