Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 20 crushed Oreos)
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 4 Snickers bars, chopped
- Extra caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)
Directions
- Start by mixing the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until it’s well combined. Press this mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and chill it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold this whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well incorporated.
- Now, spread half of this creamy filling into the chilled cookie crust. Drizzle a generous amount of caramel sauce over it before adding the remaining filling. Smooth out the top for a nice finish.
- Sprinkle the chopped Snickers bars over the top, then chill the pie for at least 2 hours or, even better, overnight so the flavors meld beautifully.
- Just before serving, feel free to drizzle with extra caramel sauce for that added touch of sweetness!
How to Serve Snickers Pie
