How To Make texas doodle pie

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make crust by melting butter and adding to crumbs and sugar. Mold into 10-inch round, parchment-lined cake pan that has been sprayed with Pam cooking spray. (NOTE: I use a Springform pan)
  • Step 2
    For the fudge layer, sift the dry ingredients and set aside. Melt the chocolate with the butter and set aside. Beat sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix in the chocolate mixture and then the add flour mixture. Pour the fudge mixture onto the crust and bake until almost set up (about 15 minutes). Remove from oven and add the chopped Snickers pieces on top.
  • Step 3
    To make the cream cheese layer, mix the cream cheese and sugar, and then add the egg and vanilla. Top pie with cream cheese mixture. Bake until cream cheese is set (20-25 minutes, actually depends on your oven). Remove from oven. Let cool.
  • Step 4
    Make ganache by bringing the heavy cream to a boil. Add the chocolate and let it slightly thicken, stirring. Top cream cheese layer with ganache. Cool.
