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.
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.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
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.
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.
