Description
A rich and creamy cheesecake pie featuring the irresistible flavors of chocolate, caramel, and peanuts, reminiscent of the classic Snickers candy bar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreo or chocolate graham crackers)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chopped Snickers bars (about 4 fun-size bars)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped salted peanuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until fully combined. Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely on a wire rack, then move it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
- Once the cheesecake is chilled and set, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chopped Snickers bars and peanuts.
- Slice and serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling. For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cookie crumbs. You can freeze the cheesecake for up to 2-3 months.
