Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted (slightly cooled)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 10 oz Snickers bars, chopped into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the cheesecake.
  2. Prepare Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust base.
  3. Make Cheesecake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition to fully blend and maintain a smooth texture.
  5. Mix Sour Cream and Vanilla: Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until the batter is completely combined and smooth.
  6. Fold in Snickers: Gently fold the chopped Snickers bars into the cheesecake batter, distributing them evenly without overmixing to avoid breaking the candy pieces.
  7. Assemble: Pour the filled batter over the prepared graham cracker crust in the springform pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly for an attractive finish.
  8. Bake: Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake the cheesecake for 50 minutes or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly, which ensures a creamy texture after cooling.
  9. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack to room temperature. Then, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set and enhance the flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Using room temperature cream cheese and eggs helps achieve a smoother batter and prevents lumps.
  • Chilling the cheesecake thoroughly is essential for the best texture and clean slices.
  • For easier removal, you can run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake before unlocking the springform pan.
  • Feel free to use regular Snickers bars or mini Snickers chopped into pieces.
  • If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup.
