A cream cheese pie with candy bars and graham cracker crust. This is a great recipe for company.
For a consistently smooth filling, ensure your cream cheese is at true room temperature; this prevents lumps and incorporates air beautifully. Be mindful not to overbake; the pie will appear soft in the center but will set perfectly upon chilling. Overbaking leads to a dense, cracked texture. To elevate flavor, consider using a good quality vanilla bean paste for a more robust vanilla essence. A small pinch of fine sea salt can balance the sweetness and deepen the caramel notes from the candy. For varied texture, chop some candy bars finely and others into slightly larger chunks before folding.
