How to make Homemade No-Bake Twix Cheesecake
Ingredients:
For the Crust
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling
– 16 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
For the Caramel Layer
– 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 1/4 tsp sea salt (optional)
For the Chocolate Ganache
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions :
1. In a large bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
2. Prepare the cheesecake filling by beating the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth in a separate bowl. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until they’re well incorporated.
3. Pour the whisked cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Gently spread the caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer and sprinkle with sea salt (if available).
5. Prepare the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it starts simmering. Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let it sit for a minute then stir until smooth and glossy.
6. Lastly, pour the chocolate ganache over the caramel layer and spread it evenly. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until set.
7. Before serving, remove it from the springform pan and thinly slice.
