SNICKERS ICEBOX PIE

At a friend party we are served a slab of "SNICKERS PIE".  

It had a chocolate-flavored crust lined with layers of bittersweet chocolate and creamy caramel, and filled with marshmallow and peanut butter flavored whipped cream.

The combinations are great, so I made my research for the Snickers Pie recipe and I've found this from the Hit TV Show of COOK'S COUNTRY.



CRUST

  • 16 Oreo cookies, broken into rough pieces
  • 4 tbsps unsalted butter, melted and cooled
FILLING
  • 1 cup(6 ounces)semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsps unsalted butter, softened
  • 7 ounces(about 26) soft caramels, unwrapped
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped
  • Bittersweet chocolate for shavings

FOR THE CRUST.  Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees.  Pulse cookies in food processor until coarsely ground,for 15 pulses, then continue to process to fine, even crumbs, about 15 seconds longer.  Sprinkle butter over crumbs and pulse to incorporate. Transfer crumbs to 9-inch pie plate.  Use bottom of measuring cup to press crumbs into even layer on bottom and sides of pie plate.  Bake until crust is fragrant and set, 10 to 15 minutes.

FOR THE FILLING.  Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot crust and let sit until softened but not fully melted, about 5 minutes.  Smooth softened chocolate into even layer with rubber spatula. Refrigerate crust until chocolate is set, 20-25 minutes.  Using stand mixer fitted with whisk, beat marshmallow creme, cream cheese, heavy cream, peanut butter,and unsalted butter together on medium high speed until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Cook caramels and water in small sauce pan over medium high heat, stirring occasionally until caramels are melted and smooth, 8-10 minutes.   Stir 1 tbsp caramel into marshmallow creme mixture.  Spread remaining hot caramel evenly over chocolate layer in chilled pie crust.  Sprinkle with peanuts and refrigerate until caramel is just set,10 minutes.  Dollop marshmallow creme mixture on top of caramel and spread into even layer. Refrigerate pie, uncovered, until chilled and set, about 2 hours. Sprinkle chocolate shavings over top using vegetable peeler.  Serve 8.
