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!

Mini Snickers Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
For the chocolate crust ingredients
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- ⅛ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
For the filling
- 3 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ cup heavy whipping cream
For the chocolate ganache sauce
- 1 Tablespoon chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon confectioner’s powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cooking oil
For assembly
- 1 Tablespoon salted caramel dessert topping
- 1 Tablespoon salted peanuts
Instructions
For the crust
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and get out a 6-inch pie pan.
- Place flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a bowl, and whisk to combine.
- In a small bowl, melt the butter for about 20 seconds in the microwave.
- Add vanilla extract and melted butter to the flour mixture and mix until it forms a dough.
- Transfer dough to pie pan and press evenly into the bottom and up sides of the pan.
- Use a fork to poke holes in the crust for steam to escape.
- Bake crust for 8–10 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes.
For the filling
- In the bowl of a KitchenAid stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.
- 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.
- Add the vanilla and mix on medium speed for about 1 minute.
- 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
- In a microwave safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips, powdered sugar, and oil in 15-second increments until melted and combined, about 45 seconds, and set aside.
- Fill the cooled crust with the cheesecake batter.
- Add a drizzle of caramel sauce on top of the cheesecake.
- Drizzle the chocolate sauce over the pie.
- Sprinkle the salty peanuts on top.
- Refrigerate for 2-4 hours. The center will still have a slight jiggle.
- Cut the pie in half to serve.
