Save It A decadent nostalgic pie inspired by classic ice cream floats featuring layers of creamy filling chocolate caramel peanuts and a fizzy cola kick.
I first tried combining my favorite candy bar with the classic soda float after a summer picnic. The pie instantly became a hit with my family especially since it combines playful cola with comforting layers of chocolate and peanuts.
Ingredients
- Crust: 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- Filling: 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese softened 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1/4 cup cola soda (not diet) chilled
- Topping: 3 full-size Snickers bars chopped 1/4 cup caramel sauce 1/4 cup chocolate sauce 1/4 cup salted peanuts roughly chopped whipped cream (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes and cool completely before filling.
- Make Filling:
- In a large bowl beat cream cheese peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture until just combined. Gently stir in chilled cola soda until incorporated.
- Assemble Pie:
- Spread filling evenly into cooled crust. Sprinkle chopped Snickers bars and salted peanuts over filling. Drizzle with caramel and chocolate sauces.
- Chill & Serve:
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set. Before serving garnish with whipped cream if desired.
Save It This pie has become a staple at family celebrations. My kids love helping sprinkle the chopped Snickers and always request extra whipped cream on top.
