Crust
- 1–1/2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)
Filling
- 1 (8 Ounce) Block Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 (3.4 Ounce) Box Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix
- 1–1/2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 8 Ounces Frozen Whipped Topping (softened, divided)
- 1 Cup Snickers Bars (chopped, plus extra for decoration)
- Prepare the crust: In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well with a spoon until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Form the crust: Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch round pie dish. Use your fingers or the back of a flat measuring cup to firmly pack the crust down.
- Bake the crust: Place the pie dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
- Mix the filling base: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and fully combined.
- Add pudding mix: Incorporate the cheesecake instant pudding mix into the cream cheese mixture and continue mixing until well blended.
- Incorporate whipped cream: While the mixer is running on low speed, slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream and beat until creamy and fluffy.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in half (4 ounces) of the softened frozen whipped topping into the pudding mixture using a spatula to maintain a light texture.
- Add Snickers pieces: Fold in 1 cup of chopped Snickers bars evenly through the filling mixture.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Cover the pie with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Decorate and serve: Remove the cling wrap and decorate the top of the pie with the remaining whipped topping and additional chopped Snickers bars. Serve chilled.
Notes
- For best results, chill the pie for at least 2 hours to ensure the filling sets properly.
- Use softened cream cheese and whipped topping to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Additional Snickers bars can be chopped and sprinkled on top for extra decoration and flavor.
- This pie is sensitive to heat and should be stored refrigerated until serving.
- If you want a completely no-bake dessert, consider using a no-bake graham cracker crust alternative.
