Tips for Perfecting Your Snickers Pie
For best results, make sure the caramel is cooked to the correct color, not too light or burnt. The consistency should be smooth and pourable. When baking the tart base, prick the dough well with a fork to prevent it from swelling. For the chocolate filling, using a double boiler method will ensure that the chocolate melts evenly and remains smooth, giving your tart a glossy and appetizing finish.
Ingredients
- For the caramel:
- 1.5 small cups of sugar
- 1 large tablespoon of butter
- 1 box of cream
- 1 small cup of peanuts
- For the pie crust:
- 1 egg
- 100 grams of butter or margarine
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups flour
- For garnish :
- 60 grams of milk chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the caramel:
- Place the sugar in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Let it melt and turn golden. Then add the butter and stir until melted. Gradually pour in the cream while stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat, stir in the peanuts and let cool.
- Prepare the pie dough:
- In a bowl, cream the butter, egg and sugar until smooth. Gradually add the flour, mixing until you obtain a dough. Reserve in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Spread the dough into tart pans, pricking the surface with a fork. Bake at 180°C (356°F) until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
- Assemble the pie:
