Ingredients
For the Crust:
-
2 cups crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
-
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
For the Cheesecake Filling:
-
16 oz cream cheese, softened
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Topping:
-
1/2 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
-
1/4 cup heavy cream
-
Chopped Twix bars (for garnish)
-
Extra caramel sauce (for drizzle)
Instructions
-
Make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix crushed cookies with melted butter (and sugar if using). Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes.
-
Prepare the filling: Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and caramel sauce until smooth and creamy.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the cheesecake mixture.
-
Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Make the ganache topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
-
Pour ganache over the cheesecake and spread evenly.
-
Top with chopped Twix bars and drizzle with caramel sauce.
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
-
Slice and serve chilled!
