Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 1 cup Nutella
- 3 Snickers bars, chopped
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the pre-made pie crust from refrigeration and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to prevent cracking.
- Carefully place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides. Crimp the edges decoratively using your fingers or a fork.
- Spread a thick, even layer of Nutella across the bottom of the pie crust, ensuring complete coverage. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon for smooth application.
- Chop the Snickers bars into small, bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle approximately two-thirds of the chopped Snickers evenly over the Nutella layer.
- Place the pie crust in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust edges turn golden brown and the Nutella begins to slightly bubble.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes. The cooling process allows the Nutella to set and stabilize.
- Once cooled, generously top the pie with freshly whipped cream, covering the entire surface.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup in a zigzag pattern across the whipped cream, creating an artistic design.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped Snickers pieces and crushed peanuts over the top of the pie for added texture and crunch.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together.
- Slice and serve chilled. For best presentation, clean the knife between cuts to ensure neat slices.
Tips
- Room Temperature Magic: Let your pie crust sit out for exactly 10 minutes before working with it to prevent cracking and ensure smooth handling.
- Nutella Application Pro Tip: Use an offset spatula or the back of a smooth spoon to spread Nutella evenly, creating a perfect, consistent layer.
- Chopping Snickers Trick: Freeze the Snickers bars for 10 minutes before chopping to make cutting cleaner and more precise.
- Whipped Cream Hack: For the fluffiest whipped cream, chill your mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for 15 minutes before whipping.
- Presentation Perfection: Clean your knife between slices to ensure picture-perfect, clean cuts that will make your pie look professionally made.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: This pie actually gets better after chilling overnight, so it's perfect for preparing in advance of a special occasion.
