How to Make No-Bake Twix Cheesecake

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
1/2 cup crushed Twix bars
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
4-5 Twix bars, chopped
Chocolate ganache or melted chocolate for drizzling (optional)

Directions

Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, crushed Twix bars, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it’s compact. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set.
Top with Twix and Chocolate: Once the cheesecake has set, top with chopped Twix bars and drizzle with chocolate ganache or melted chocolate, if desired.
