Perfect for an easy and indulgent treat with minimal preparation and a chilled finish.
Ingredients
Filling
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce
- 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping (thawed, e.g., Cool Whip)
- 1 1/2 cups Snickers bars (roughly chopped)
Crust and Garnish
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
- Whipped cream (optional for garnish)
- Chopped Snickers (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and caramel sauce together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, ensuring a creamy base for the pie.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to incorporate air and preserve a light, fluffy texture evenly throughout the filling.
- Add chopped Snickers: Stir in all the chopped Snickers bars until they are evenly distributed in the filling, adding texture and rich chocolate, caramel, and peanut flavors.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the peanut butter and Snickers filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth out the top for an even, attractive finish.
- Chill the pie: Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the filling to fully set and the flavors to meld, resulting in a firm but creamy consistency.
- Garnish and serve: Just before serving, optionally garnish the pie with additional whipped cream and chopped Snickers for extra texture and decoration.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Use chunky peanut butter for added texture; smooth peanut butter can be substituted but will alter the mouthfeel slightly.
- For best results, chill the pie overnight, if possible, to develop flavors fully.
- If you prefer less sweetness, adjust the powdered sugar slightly to taste.
- To make individual servings, try preparing the filling in small cups or jars with chopped Snickers on top.
