Indulgent Snickers Cheesecake Recipe

This cheesecake features a buttery graham cracker crust, a creamy filling made with cream cheese and Snickers, and is topped with chocolate ganache and caramel drizzle. The preparation takes about 1 hour, plus chilling time, and serves 10 people.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup chopped Snickers bars (about 6 bars)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup caramel sauce
Chopped peanuts for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chopped Snickers bars and sour cream.
Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
Prepare the Topping: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled cheesecake, followed by caramel sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts if desired.
Serve: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled.
