Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
24 ounces cream cheese, softened (3 packages)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups chopped Snickers bars
1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
5. Mix in heavy cream, then fold in chopped Snickers.
6. Pour batter over cooled crust.
7. Place pan in a larger baking dish and add 1 inch of hot water to create a water bath.
8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the center is slightly jiggly.
9. Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let cheesecake rest for 1 hour.
10. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
11. Drizzle with caramel sauce, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and extra Snickers if desired.
12. Slice with a hot, clean knife and serve!
Notes
For best results, let the cheesecake chill overnight for a firm yet creamy texture.
Use a water bath to prevent cracking and ensure even baking.
Store leftovers tightly covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze slices for later enjoyment.
