Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 34 Twix bars, chopped
- 12 Twix bars, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 cups (240 grams) chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
Dairy and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sauce and Toppings:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Craft the foundation by blending crushed cookies with melted butter, ensuring a uniform texture. Gently press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes to set the base, then allow to cool completely.
- Transform cream cheese into a silky consistency using an electric mixer. Incorporate sugar gradually, maintaining a smooth blend. Introduce vanilla extract and eggs individually, mixing thoroughly after each addition to prevent lumps.
- Gently fold sour cream and heavy cream into the mixture, creating a luxurious, creamy texture. Carefully chop Twix bars and fold them into the filling, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the filling onto the prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, watching for slightly jiggly center with set edges as a sign of perfect doneness.
- Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly for one hour. This technique prevents cracking and ensures a velvety texture.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight to achieve optimal firmness and flavor development.
- Before serving, drizzle generously with caramel and chocolate sauces. Garnish with additional chopped Twix bars for a decadent presentation that enhances both visual appeal and taste.
Notes
- Chill your cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling that blends effortlessly.
- Crush Twix bars into different sizes for varied texture, creating delightful pockets of chocolate and caramel throughout the cheesecake.
- Wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in during the water bath baking method, which helps create a silky, crack-free cheesecake.
- Substitute gluten-free cookies for the crust to make this dessert suitable for those with gluten sensitivities, without compromising on taste and texture.
