How to Make Chocolate Caramel Twix Cheesecake
Ingredients:
For the crust:
– 2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
– 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 10 mini Twix bars, chopped
For the caramel layer:
– 1 cup caramel sauce
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Pinch of salt
For the topping:
– 5 mini Twix bars chopped
– Chocolate sauce for drizzling
Directions:
Start by preheating your oven to 325°F and greasing a 9-inch springform pan. Combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and press this into the base of the lined pan. Set it aside.
Beat the cream cheese and the sugar in a bowl until they are creamy and well combined. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well after each. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract. Pour half this mixture over the crust, sprinkle the chopped Twix bars, and then pour in the remaining mixture.
Bake this for an hour until set. While the cheesecake cools off, heat the caramel sauce and heavy cream in a saucepan until smooth. Add a bit of salt, let it cool, and pour it over the cheesecake. Sprinkle more chopped Twix bars, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, and your delectable cheesecake is ready to be served!
