Oreo crust, silky and airy chocolate filling and finished with chopped candy, this no bake Nutella Snickers pie is perfect for hot summer days!
Have you noticed how easily we change our mind?
Few months ago I could not wait for the summer to come. I was longing light dresses, flip flops, reading by the pool and refreshing iced coffee.
Here we are in the middle of July and I’m so tired of summer. It’s been so unbreathable hot lately, I melt a little every single day. I miss breezy days, rain and 70 temps.
I change my mind a lot about a lot of things. Weather, clothes, places to visit, what to eat, and the list could go on for pages.
In the same time, there are things that don’t change no matter what. My love for chocolate is one of them.
And not only that I love chocolate but I have to have chocolate every single day.
But these days it’s so hot the last thing I want is to turn the oven on. So I rely on no bake chocolate treats.
Good thing my friend Julienne has just released a book filled with 80 no bake desserts. From no bake cheesecake, to icebox cake, pies and other sweet treats, she has all your cravings covered!
I’ve been drooling over it since I received a copy a couple of weeks ago.
And let me tell you, it was so hard to decide which recipe to share with you. All 80 recipes come with full-color photos and if you haven’t seen her gorgeous photography, boy, you’re in for a real treat!!
The pie starts with an Oreo crust. You know, ground oreo and butter pressed onto the bottom of a pan with removable bottom. And no, there’s no need to remove the filling from the Oreo cookies.
The filling is a mix of cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and Nutella.
I could eat the filling with the spoon all day long! It’s so smooth and silky and love the crunchy bites you get from the peanuts and mini chocolate chips.
To make the filling, take a little bit of patience. You have to slowly add the heavy whipping cream and which it until firm peaks form and once the Nutella is added, you whip it a little longer.
For the finishing touches, you’ll need salted caramel, some more peanuts, whipped cream and chopped snickers candy.
Julienne suggests using any candy bars you prefer but you know how much I love Snickers!

Ingredients
- 1 package (14 oz) Oreo cookies (do not remove the filling)
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts, finelly chopped
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 peanuts, roughtly chopped
- 1/4 cup salted caramel
- 2/3 cup chopped snickers candy
Instructions
- Prepare a 9 inch springform pan by lightly greasing the edges of the pan with cooking spray, then wiping gently with a paper towel.
- Grind the cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter for 45 to 60 seconds until the butter is melted.
- In a separate medium-size bowl, pour the melted butter into the cookie crumbs and stir until there are no dry crumbs left.
- Pour the crumbs into the pan and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides to create a thick crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese at low speed for 30 seconds with the whisk attachment to eliminate any lumps.
- Increase the speed to medium and slowly start adding the heavy whipping cream, about 1/4 cup at a time. The idea is to slowly add the heavy whipping cream so that the cream cheese will not be lumpy. It should resemble a liquid consistency.
- Once all of the heavy cream has been added, increase the speed to high until the mixture becomes bubbly.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Turn off the mixer and spoon the Nutella into the mixing bowl.
- Beat the nutella into the whipped cream slowly at first, and once it starts to mix increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 30 seconds or until stiff peaks form again.
- Fold the chopped peanuts and mini chocolate chips into the batter with a spatula, and pour the filling into the prepared crust.
- Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
- Prepare the whipped cream by placing the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to chill.
- Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl and use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until the cream get bubbly.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Sprinkle the top of the pie with peanuts and drizzle on half of the caramel.
- Pipe the whipped cream in a large circular motion, creating 10 or so peaks of whipped cream near the edge of the pie.
- Scatter the chopped snickers candy over the pie.
- Drizzle with the remaining caramel.
- Freeze the pie for 20-30 minutes before slicing. This will help ensure a cleaner slice.
- Using a clean, sharp knife, cut the pie into 9 slices.
