3 hrsThis isn’t your average pie. It’s a full-blown candy bar experience baked into a flaky crust, with cream cheese and peanut butter creating a cheesecake-style filling studded with candy chunks.
The chocolate ganache topping adds glossy richness that makes every slice look bakery-worthy.
You’ll need to chill this for a few hours, but that wait transforms the filling into something dense, creamy, and utterly irresistible.
Pro Tips
- Partially bake the crust first: Five minutes at high heat sets the crust just enough to prevent sogginess from the wet filling.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth: Lumpy cream cheese means lumpy filling. Take an extra minute to get it silky before adding eggs.
- Don’t overbake: The center should jiggle slightly when you pull it from the oven. It firms up during chilling for the perfect creamy texture.
