Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 200g Digestive Biscuits or Graham Crackers, crushed
- 100g Melted Butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 450g Cream Cheese, softened
- 150g Granulated Sugar
- 3 Eggs, room temperature
- 120g Sour Cream or Heavy Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 100g Twix Bars, chopped
Toppings
- Caramel Sauce, for drizzling
- Additional Twix Bars, chopped
- Chocolate Chips or Melted Chocolate, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Finely crush digestive biscuits or graham crackers, then mix with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even, compact base. Chill while preparing the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add sugar and mix until fully combined. Add eggs one at a time, blending thoroughly but avoid overbeating. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract for moisture and flavor. Fold in chopped Twix pieces evenly.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour batter over chilled crust and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. This gentle bake ensures creamy texture with firmness.
- Cool and Add Toppings: Cool cheesecake at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with additional chopped Twix bars or chocolate chips.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for smooth mixing.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid cracks and dense texture.
- Consider baking in a water bath to prevent cracking.
- Fully chill cheesecake before slicing to achieve neat cuts.
- Use fresh Twix bars for best crunch and flavor.
