“Snickers is a chocolate bar made by the American company Mars, Incorporated, consisting of nougat topped with caramel and peanuts that has been enrobed in milk chocolate.” Wikipedia
Hiya. 👋
Today I’m going to share a recipe for Sugar-Free Snickers Pie. Will it be “enrobed in milk chocolate” like the original? Well, no.
Not exactly.
But we will drizzle it with sugar-free dark chocolate, how’s about that?
This super tasty dessert has a chocolate crumble crust, followed by a vanilla cream filling, then topped with roasted peanuts and drizzled caramel and chocolate.
It's pretty spectacular. 😍
My mom came by as I was doing all the sprinkling of peanuts and drizzling of chocolate and caramel and whatnot. She snuck some bites of all the leftover ingredients and was like, “This is good. Like, really really GOOD. And this is sugar-free?”
Yep, it's sugar-free and you can’t tell the difference at all.
I used both granular and powdered Swerve for this recipe because it is a zero-calorie, zero net carb sweetener that has no effect on blood sugar.
Here are the ingredients that you’ll need to make this Snickers Pie:
- almond flour
- Swerve Granular
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- vanilla extract
- butter
- heavy whipping cream
- cream cheese
- Lily's Sugar-Free Baking Chips
- Swerve Confectioners
- coconut oil
- salted peanuts
This pie is all kinds of healthy.
Because the pie uses almond flour for the crust, Lily's Sugar-Free Baking Chips for the chocolate, and Swerve for the sweetener, it is very Keto-friendly. So it's sugar-free, grain-free, and gluten-free to boot. Each slice has 318 calories, 2g net carbs, and a whopping 32 grams of protein. Not too shabby!
It is not technically a no-bake pie, because you bake the crust.
But it feels like a no-bake pie because it’s got a crumble crust and the filling is uncooked. It’s a light and fluffy cream pie filling topped with the aforementioned peanuts, caramel, and chocolate. And it only takes 10 minutes to bake the crust, so it’s pretty darn quick.
So Snickers pie is one of my go-to party desserts. 🥧
I leave it on the dessert table, and just wait for people to ask me for the recipe. Do I gloat when I tell them that it is actually sugar-free?
I might, just a little bit. 😉

- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
crust:
- ¾ cup super fine almond flour
- ¼ cup Swerve Granular
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup butter, cut into large chunks
caramel sauce:
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 tablespoon Swerve Granular
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
filling:
- 12 oz cream cheese, softened
- 6 tablespoons Swerve Granular
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
chocolate sauce:
- ⅓ cup Lily's Sugar-Free Baking Chips
- 1 tablespoon Swerve Confectioners
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
⅓ cup salted peanuts
Instructions
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and get out a pie pan.
Step 2. Place almond flour, sweetener, and cocoa powder in a food processor or blender. Pulse to blend. Add the vanilla extract and butter and blend until the mixture comes together to form a dough. Transfer the dough to the pie pan and press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pan. Use a fork to add holes in the crust for the steam to escape.
Step 3. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 1 hour. The crust will firm up as it cools.
Step 4. As the crust is cooling, make up the caramel sauce. Add the butter for the caramel sauce to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until golden and just boiling. Add sweetener to the pan, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 1 minute. Add vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream and stir well. Set aside to cool and thicken, about 1 hour. If it separates, just mix it until combined again.
Step 5. Add filling cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sweetener to a large bowl and whip with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in cream and whip until hard peaks form. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step 6. Fill the cooled crust with the filling mixture.
Step 7. Microwave chocolate chips, sweetener, and coconut oil in 30-second increments until melted and combined, about 90 seconds. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
Step 8. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce onto the top of the pie. Drizzle half of the chocolate sauce over the pie. Sprinkle with peanuts and repeat until you have used up all the sauce.

I made this with a few modifications…I can’t tolerate almond flour so I made a baked pecan crust. The filling went as directed. Then because I am into short cuts, I drizzled it with sugar free caramel sauce and sugar free chocolate sauce. It turned out fabulous. Everyone loved it. My grandson asked to take the leftovers home…lol. True praise indeed!
