Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Chocolate graham crackers
- 85 g Unsalted butter, melted
- 680 g Cream cheese, softened
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3 pcs Eggs, large
- 120 g Sour cream
- 60 ml Heavy cream
- 300 g Snickers bars, chopped
- 100 g Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 ml Heavy cream (for topping)
- 50 g Chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
- 50 ml Caramel sauce (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and wrap the outside with double layers of aluminum foil to prevent leaks during baking.
To make the crust, crush the chocolate graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until fully combined, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Mix in the sour cream and heavy cream until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gently fold in 200 grams of the chopped Snickers bars into the cheesecake batter.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the springform pan into a larger roasting pan, then carefully fill the roasting pan with hot water about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This creates a water bath, which helps prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
Bake the cheesecake for 65-75 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when shaken. Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and the water bath. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
To make the topping, heat the 100 ml of heavy cream in a small saucepan until it simmers. Remove from heat and pour over the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Spread the chocolate ganache over the top of the chilled cheesecake. Sprinkle the remaining chopped Snickers bars and optional chopped peanuts over the ganache.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top for an extra indulgent touch (optional).
Slice and serve the Heavenly Snicker Packed Cheesecake chilled. Enjoy!
