Twix Cheesecake

This Twix Cheesecake is a luscious dessert combining creamy, smooth cheesecake with a buttery cookie crust and crunchy, caramel-filled Twix bar chunks folded throughout. Perfectly balanced with sweet caramel, chocolate, and a velvety texture, this easy-to-make cheesecake is a crowd-pleaser ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs (graham crackers or digestive biscuits)
  • 6 tbsp melted butter

Filling

  • 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
  • 45 Twix bars, chopped into small chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine cookie crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate to chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream just until combined, avoiding over-mixing.
  3. Fold in the Twix pieces: Gently fold chopped Twix chunks into the cheesecake batter to distribute caramel, chocolate, and cookie throughout the filling.
  4. Bake the cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  5. Cool and chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese and eggs to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cheesecake light and prevent cracks.
  • Optional: Bake using a water bath to create a creamy, crack-free cheesecake.
  • Chop Twix bars finely to ensure even distribution and prevent sinking.
  • Chill thoroughly before slicing for easier, cleaner cuts and better flavor melding.
