Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 8 oz caramel sauce
- 1 cup Snickers bars, chopped (about 5-6 mini bars)
For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup chopped Snickers bars
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and the crumbs are moistened.
- Form the crust: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish to form an even crust. Place the crust in the fridge to chill while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
- Add sugar and vanilla: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and continue beating until well combined.
- Whip cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form using a hand or stand mixer. Then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate caramel and Snickers: Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars and caramel sauce, reserving some Snickers pieces and caramel for the topping.
- Assemble cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled crust using a spatula to smooth the top.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and firm up.
- Add toppings: Before serving, drizzle the top of the cheesecake with the reserved caramel sauce and melted chocolate chips. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped Snickers bars for extra crunch and flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled. Enjoy this indulgent, no-bake Snickers cheesecake that’s sure to delight!
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cheesecake.
- Chilling overnight yields the best texture and sliceability.
- Reserve some Snickers and caramel sauce for a visually appealing and flavorful topping.
- To melt chocolate chips for drizzling, heat gently in the microwave in short bursts or on a double boiler.
