Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz (3 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Layers and Toppings

  • 4–5 Twix bars, chopped
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce, warm
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or prepared ganache
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for ganache)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a compact, firm crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, avoiding lumps. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract. Mix just until combined to prevent cracks.
  3. Assemble the Layers: Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust. Sprinkle a generous layer of chopped Twix bars evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the candy pieces and smooth the surface with a spatula to cover the Twix uniformly.
  4. Bake and Cool: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake cheesecake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to cool gradually and prevent cracking. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  5. Add Caramel and Chocolate Finish: Warm caramel sauce and drizzle it generously over the cooled cheesecake. For a ganache topping, heat heavy cream and pour it over chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Drizzle the ganache or melted chocolate evenly on top to finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smoother batter and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid cracks or dense texture.
  • Using a water bath with the springform pan wrapped in foil helps prevent drying and cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly, preferably overnight, for optimal flavor and firmness.
  • Chop Twix bars evenly for consistent texture and distribution.
