Twix Cheesecake — Decadent Twix Cheesecake

  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed shortbread cookies (or graham crackers) 🍪
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar 🧂
  • 680 g (24 oz) cream cheese, softened 🧀
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 🧂
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature 🥚
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for filling) 🥛
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce 🍯
  • 6 full-size Twix bars, chopped 🍫
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache) 🥛
  • Optional: extra chopped Twix bars for garnish 🍫
  • Optional: caramel drizzle 🍯
  • Optional: chocolate drizzle 🍫
  • Optional: whipped cream swirls 🍦

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (325°F).
  2. Prepare the crust: mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter and 2 tbsp sugar until evenly combined.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let cool completely.
  4. Lower the oven temperature if needed. Meanwhile, prepare the filling: beat the cream cheese with a whisk or mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and blend well, taking care not to incorporate too much air.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup caramel sauce. Mix until homogeneous without overworking the batter.
  7. Gently fold in the chopped Twix pieces, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  8. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  9. Bake for 60–70 minutes: the center should still be slightly jiggly while the edges are set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour to minimize cracking.
  10. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  11. Prepare the chocolate ganache: heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until it just begins to simmer (do not boil). Pour the hot cream over the semi-sweet chocolate chips, let sit 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  12. Spread the ganache evenly over the chilled cheesecake and return to the fridge for 15–30 minutes to set.
  13. Garnish with extra chopped Twix pieces, a drizzle of caramel, a drizzle of chocolate and whipped cream swirls before serving.
  14. For clean slices, run a sharp knife under hot water, dry it, and slice the cheesecake. Serve chilled.
