This creamy no bake toffee cheesecake pie is a dream for anyone looking for an easy crowd pleaser with zero oven time. Layers of rich Heath Bar studded filling come together in minutes then chill until perfectly set in a ready-made chocolate graham crust. I keep this one in my back pocket for birthdays, BBQs or any summer night when the last thing I want is to turn on the oven.
I whipped this up for an impromptu family get together when I needed something impressive with no fuss. After one bite everyone asked for the recipe. It became my summer dessert go-to.
Ingredients
- Ready crust chocolate graham cracker crust: gives a chocolatey crunchy base without needing to bake Order a pre-made one for the ultimate shortcut but check for an intact crust before buying
- Full fat cream cheese: makes the filling rich and smooth Be sure it is at room temperature for easy mixing
- Granulated sugar: provides just enough sweetness and dissolves easily into the cream cheese
- Pure vanilla extract: adds depth and that bakery flavor Skip imitation vanilla for richer results
- Cool Whip: holds the filling together giving it a light texture Make sure it is thawed so you get a smooth blend
- Heath Toffee candy bars: are the star bringing crunch and caramel flavor Chop your own for freshness and bigger chunks
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make the cheesecake base:
- Beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until it is perfectly creamy and lump free This step ensures the filling will be ultra smooth
- Fold in the Cool Whip:
- Gently combine Cool Whip with a rubber spatula Do not overmix or the filling may deflate The mixture should look thick cloudlike and uniform
- Add the toffee:
- Stir in the chopped Heath bars evenly so you get chocolate and toffee in each bite If you are chopping your own use a sharp chef knife for clean pieces
- Fill the crust:
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture into the prepared chocolate graham crust Spread it to the edges and smooth the top with the spatula Smoothing gives that finished bakery look
- Chill overnight:
- Cover the pie with the enclosed dome or plastic wrap to keep it from picking up fridge smells Chill for at least six hours or overnight so it slices cleanly and the flavors meld
- Garnish and serve:
- For a special touch whip cream with a bit of powdered sugar and pipe or spread it over the top Sprinkle with extra chopped Heath bars Slice with a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts
