Mini Snickers Cheesecake Recipe (Small Pie for Two) • Zona Cooks (2024)

Mini Snickers Cheesecake is a super decadent dessert with a vanilla no-bake cheesecake mixture topped with drizzled chocolate, salted caramel sauce, and peanuts all nestled in a baked chocolate cocoa crust. The center will still be creamy and not set up like most cheesecakes. It’s more like a creamy pie and it’s one of the best desserts!

How to make Snickers Pie

Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and get out a 6-inch pie pan.

For the chocolate crust

Step 1 – Place the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 2 – In a small bowl, melt the butter for about 20 seconds in the microwave.

Step 3 – Add the vanilla extract and melted butter to the flour mixture and mix until it forms a dough.

Step 4 – Transfer the dough to the pie pan and press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

Step 5 – Use a fork to poke holes in the crust for the steam to escape.

Step 6 – Bake for 8 – 10 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

For the cheesecake filling

Step 1 – In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with a handheld electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.

Step 2 – Add the granulated sugar and mix on low speed for about 30 seconds then turn the speed up to medium and continue mixing for about 2 minutes.

Step 3 – Add the vanilla and mix on medium speed for about 1 minute.

Step 4 – Switch to the whisk attachment and add the heavy cream. Beat on low speed until the cream is well mixed in. Turn the speed up to high and beat until the batter becomes thickened. Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

To assemble the Snickers Cheesecake

Step 1 – In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips, powdered sugar, and oil in 15-second increments until melted and combined for about 45 seconds, and set aside.

Step 2 – Fill the cooled crust with the creamy filling mixture.

Step 3 – Drizzle the salted caramel sauce onto the top of the pie.

Step 4 – Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the Snickers pie.

Step 5 – Sprinkle with the crunchy peanuts.

Step 6 – Refrigerate for 2-4 hours. The center will still have a slight jiggle.

Step 7 – Cut the pie in half to serve.
