No Bake Snickers Cheesecake Pie with a snickers cheesecake filling and topped with freshly whipped cream and chunks of snickers candy bar.Â
NO BAKE SNICKERS CHEESECAKE PIE
No bake desserts are my very favorite recipes to create! This no bake snickers cheesecake pie is a twist to the super popular no bake Oreo cream pie recipe. A prepared graham cracker crust, filled with a Snickers cheesecake filling, and then topped off with whipped cream and chunks of Snickers candy bar.Â
It’s an easy dessert recipe that everyone loves. Perfect for a weeknight dessert or take it to a gathering.
Also try my no bake lemon pudding pie recipe. It’s another favorite and super easy to make.Â
INGREDIENTS FOR SNICKERS CHEESECAKE PIE

TIPS & HELPFUL HINTS
-
Can I make my own graham cracker crust?
- Yes, of course! I always use a store bought crust because I prefer them. Not only are they really easy and it saves time, but I also like how the store bought crust does not crumble when you cut into it. If you are making your own then be sure it’s a recipe for a 9-inch pie.Â
-
Can I use reduced fat cream cheese?
- I would suggest using the real stuff. Full-fat regular cream cheese has much more flavor and it tastes much better in this cheesecake pie. I personally have never tried using the reduced-fat cream cheese in this recipe so I can’t say for sure how it would change the taste or texture of the pie. I am sure it will work just fine but it may not taste as rich and creamy.Â
-
Can I use Cool Whip instead of heavy whipping cream?
- Yes you could if you wanted to. But trust me, this pie tastes so much better when you use the heavy whipping cream. It takes a few extra minutes but it is worth it.Â

HOW TO SERVE SNICKERS CHEESECAKE PIE
You can serve this pie as is with no topping and it’s delicious. I like to whip some additional heavy cream and pipe it on top of the pie and then top it with additional chopped Snickers candy bars. This makes the pie look really pretty, but if you are short on time or just don’t want to do it, then serve the pie as is without the garnish topping of whipped cream.Â
Either way it’s delicious! Be sure you plan ahead of time because this pie does need to refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving. I always make it the night before and let it refrigerate overnight and then the next day until I need to serve it.

No Bake Snickers Cheesecake Pie
Ingredients
Snicker Cheesecake Cream Pie
- 1 (6 oz) 'ready crust' graham cracker crust (store-bought)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups chopped Snickers
Garnishes
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- additional chopped Snickers
Instructions
- In medium mixing bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy {to avoid lumps make sure cream cheese is really soft or place in microwave for 20 seconds}.
- Add in vanilla extract and granulated sugar. Beat until combined.
- In separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This will take several minutes.
- Add the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and gently mix together. Fold in the chopped Snickers and combine.
- Spread into the pie crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight, before serving. Can be made up to 2-3 days in advance and kept in fridge until ready.
- Optional garnishes: Beat 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream + powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spread onto pie and garnish with additional chopped Snickers.

For the cream cheese filling can we also use the one that is store bought or we add the ingredients to that one,maybe I bought the wrong one?
No the store bought cheesecake filling will not work it. You just want regular cream cheese that comes in the bar.
do you use a small or large pie crust?
I use just a regular graham cracker crust from the store. I have only ever seen the regular size and then the ‘family size’ pie crust in the stores, so I am not sure what you mean by small or large? Hopefully that maybe helps 🙂
Can you use peanut butter cups instead of snickers?
Yes, of course! That would be a great substitute.
This is really similar to Heavenly Peanut Butter Pie that I discovered a few years ago. My kids LOVE that pie and it’s an easy, often requested dessert. Now we have a Snickers option, too! Thanks!
PS~ I usually make the graham cracker crust. It doesn’t take very long and it is oooh so good. The store bought crust is fast but nothing can beat the taste of the home made 🙂
yum, peanut butter! This pie is a fave because you can easily switch out the candy! Now you have me thinking a pb reese’s one would be delicious 🙂
Oh YUM! Maybe a cookie crumb crust!!
Loved it!!!
Yay! So glad you did. I still think about this pie. So yummy 🙂
Since it’s a no bake cheesecake, can I use the spreadable cream cheese (like the one you spread on bagels), if I measure by weight?
You could try it but I would suggest not doing that. I am pretty sure the spreadable cream cheese is slightly more watery to make it thinner and easier to spread. But I could be way wrong 🙂 I have only every used the regular block of real cream cheese so I can’t say for sure about the other stuff. I hope that helps.
Could you use cool whip instead of heavy cream?
Yes of course. There is about 2 cups of cool whip in the 8 oz tub which is equal to the 1 cup heavy whipping cream once it’s whipped (cause it doubles in size). Hope that helps.
Can this be frozen.
I don’t care for freezing dairy. I think once it thaws the texture is off. You could always try it. I’ve never frozen this so I can’t say for sure.
I made this last thanksgiving for the first time they enjoyed it so much it was requested again this year, and this croud are not usually pie people. Thanks for the great recipe.
You’re welcome. So glad they enjoy it!
Can you use the jello no bake box and add a bar of Cream cheese?
I have never used the jello no bake cheesecake box so I am not sure. You could always try it and see what you think. I just can’t say for sure because I have only ever made it as the recipe is written.
I bought the extra 2 servings before I read not to, what will happen if I use the bigger pie crust.
It will still work but the cheesecake pie will just be thinner.
This was so good and a definite hit at our family gathering! could be made with any candy bar, I think! Very good and easy recipe! Will be making again for sure. Thank you!
can I use Twix candy bar instead?
Yeah, that should work great! Enjoy!
what can i use instead of graham crackers crust?cause i never saw in Malta.
You could make a graham cracker crust, there are lots of recipes online that tell you how. If you don’t have graham crackers in Malta you can use any sweetened cracker you have locally in the crust recipe. Let me know how it turns out!
Can the extra whipped cream you put on to garnish be put on when you make the pie or must you do when serving? (I asked because I once garnished a pie with redi whip and by the time we served it, it had melted.)
It should work fine to decorate it when you make the pie. Just make sure to keep the pie cool so the whipped topping doesn’t melt.
For a 18×13 slab pie, any ideas if 2 times recipe or 2.5 times recipe would be needed…thanks
I think doubling the recipe would work.
It’s a pity all the pop up ads you have on your page make reading the recipe difficult. After closing 6 ads I finally got to read the recipe. I know you get paid for these ads but it’s a truly unpleasant experience for those of us who are only here for the recipe.
Every site on the internet has ads. Sorry you feel that way. Ads is what makes it possible for me to spend 40+ hours per week creating free content and recipes. There is a very convenient ‘jump to recipe’ button that enables you to bypass most of that. I put all the helpful notes and tips inside the recipe card so you don’t miss them from the post above.
