No Bake Twix Pie
No Bake Twix Pie — a creamy, no-bake dessert that combines crunchy vanilla wafer crust, a light cheesecake-style filling, and plenty of chopped Twix candy. It’s finished with chocolate and caramel drizzle for a decadent, summer-friendly treat that’s easy to make and impossible to resist.
This pie is perfect when you want a rich, indulgent dessert without turning on the oven. The filling is a simple mix of softened cream cheese, vanilla, and whipped topping folded together with chopped Twix bars. The crust is best made from crushed vanilla wafers and melted butter for a sweet, buttery base that gives the pie great texture and flavor.
Twix bars bring shortbread-like cookie crunch, chewy caramel, and milk chocolate to every bite. This pie highlights that combination, folding part of the chopped candy into the filling and reserving more for the top. Finish with chocolate and caramel sundae sauce drizzles to echo those classic Twix flavors and give the pie a restaurant-worthy look.
Quick overview:
- Prep time: about 10 minutes
- Chill time: at least 3 hours for the pie to set
- Servings: about 8 slices
Ingredients
- 1 (11-ounce) box vanilla wafers, crushed
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cool Whip or similar whipped topping, thawed
- 2 cups Twix candy bars, chopped
- Chocolate and caramel sundae sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the crushed vanilla wafers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan to form a compact crust. Set aside.
- Make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until combined and smooth. Stir in 1 cup of the chopped Twix pieces, saving the rest for the topping.
- Assemble and chill: Spread the filling evenly into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the filling is set and firm enough to slice.
- Finish and serve: Before serving, top the pie with the remaining chopped Twix bars. Drizzle chocolate and caramel sauce over the top for extra sweetness and a polished presentation. Slice and enjoy chilled.
Tips and Variations
– Crust options: Vanilla wafer crust is recommended for the classic flavor, but graham crackers also work if you prefer a slightly different base.
– Candy size: Use regular or fun-size Twix bars chopped into pieces. If you prefer more caramel and less crunch, chop the bars more finely.
– Make-ahead: This pie holds up well in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container to maintain texture.
– Serving: For cleaner slices, run a knife under hot water, wipe dry, and then cut each slice; wipe the blade between cuts.
Notes
Note: The listed “cook” time refers to chilling time needed for the pie to set; no actual baking is required. Chilling ensures the filling firms up and slices neatly.
