Description

A delicious cheesecake combining creamy texture with the rich flavors of chocolate, caramel, and peanut from Snickers bars.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1⁄2 cups Oreo crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3⁄4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1⁄2 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1⁄4 cup heavy cream, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 cups mini Snickers bars, chopped into eighths
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • 1⁄2 cup heavy cream (for caramel)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for caramel)
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for caramel)
  • Extra Snickers, chopped (for topping)
  • Chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
  • Mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray and line the bottom with a parchment circle.
  2. Pulse Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
  3. Combine the Oreo crumbs with melted butter, then press the mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan.
  4. Bake for 12 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  5. Chop 3 cups of mini Snickers bars into eighths.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese on high for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat for 1 more minute.
  7. Add vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream to the mixture, mixing until smooth.
  8. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  9. Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars.
  10. For the water bath options, choose either method: Option 1: Place the springform pan in a cake pan, then put that in a roasting pan and fill with hot water halfway up the cake pan. Option 2: Wrap the springform pan tightly in foil and place in a roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides.
  11. Bake for 85-95 minutes until the edges are set, and the center slightly jiggles.
  12. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake sit for 30 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  13. Let the cheesecake cool completely, then chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  14. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until smooth and amber-colored for the caramel.
  15. Add the butter cubes and whisk until melted and bubbly.
  16. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, then add salt and vanilla extract.
  17. Let the caramel cool, then pour over the chilled cheesecake.
  18. Top the cheesecake with extra Snickers pieces, peanuts, and mini chocolate chips (optional).
  19. Slice and enjoy!
