Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (128 grams) peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups (210 grams) chopped Snickers bars
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
- 7 tablespoons (100 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Topping Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) Cool Whip
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) chopped roasted peanuts
- 1/2 cup (70 grams) chopped Snickers bars
- Chocolate syrup
- Caramel syrup
Instructions
- Pulverize graham crackers into fine crumbs, then thoroughly incorporate melted butter and sugar, ensuring a uniform sandy texture.
- Firmly press the crumb mixture into a pie dish, creating an even, compact base that reaches up the sides. Refrigerate for half an hour to solidify.
- In a mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until velvety, then gradually blend in peanut butter and powdered sugar, creating a silky, smooth consistency.
- Gently fold in whipped topping, maintaining a light, airy texture that prevents deflating the mixture.
- Roughly chop Snickers bars into rustic chunks, reserving some for garnishing, and delicately fold into the cream cheese blend.
- Carefully spread the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Drizzle chocolate and caramel sauces in elegant, crisscrossing patterns across the pie’s surface for visual appeal.
- Sprinkle remaining Snickers pieces and chopped peanuts over the top, creating a textural and decorative finish.
- Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing flavors to meld and the filling to set completely before serving.
Notes
- Swap graham crackers with gluten-free cookies for a celiac-friendly version, ensuring everyone can enjoy this decadent dessert.
- Reduce sugar content by using low-fat cream cheese and natural peanut butter without added sweeteners.
- Freeze chopped Snickers bars briefly before mixing to prevent them from melting and maintain distinct chocolate-caramel chunks in the filling.
- Create a lighter version by substituting Cool Whip with whipped coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative that’s equally creamy and indulgent.
