Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Snickers Cheesecake Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine finely ground chocolate wafer cookies with melted butter and a tablespoon of sugar.
Step 3
Mix everything together until it’s well blended, then press this delicious mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Step 4
For a delightful surprise, sprinkle 1/4 cup of caramel chips and 2 tablespoons of chopped peanuts over the crust, adding a touch of sweetness and crunch.
Step 5
In another bowl, beat together cream cheese and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Gradually blend in the milk, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently until just incorporated.
Step 7
Stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of flour until your batter is silky and smooth.
Step 8
Now, let’s add some fun! Chop 6 mini Snickers bars into small pieces and toss them with 1 tablespoon of flour to keep them from sinking in the batter.
Step 9
Gently fold these delightful candy pieces into your cheesecake mixture, then pour this luscious batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
Step 10
Bake your cheesecake in the preheated oven for about an hour.
Step 11
Once it’s done, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for at least 3 hours with the door closed.
Step 12
This step is crucial for achieving that perfect texture.
Step 13
After it cools, pop it in the refrigerator for 8 hours or, if you can wait, overnight for the best flavor.
Step 14
When you’re ready to serve, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
Step 15
If you’re feeling fancy, decorate the top edge with a swirl of whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance.
Step 16
For a finishing touch, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of caramel chips and 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips in separate microwave-safe bowls for about a minute.
Step 17
Drizzle the melted caramel and chocolate over the cheesecake, creating a beautiful and tempting glaze.
Step 18
Finally, chop the remaining Snickers bars and arrange them on top of the whipped cream.
Step 19
Sprinkle the last 2 tablespoons of chopped peanuts over the cake for that satisfying crunch.
Step 20
Now, step back and admire your creation—this cheesecake is not just a dessert; it’s a celebration of flavors and textures that will surely impress your friends and family! Enjoy every delicious bite!.
