No Bake Snickers Cheesecake Recipe
Description
No Bake Snickers Cheesecake starts with a buttery Oreo or chocolate graham cracker crust pressed firmly into a pan and chilled to set. The filling combines smooth cream cheese and sour cream with vanilla, caramel sauce, and a stabilized whipped cream mixture that includes gelatin to help it set without baking. Chopped Snickers bars throughout the filling add pockets of chocolate, nougat, caramel, and peanuts. Once spooned into the crust, the cheesecake is topped with roasted peanuts, caramel, fudge sauce, and more Snickers pieces, creating a layered texture and flavor experience. The dessert is chilled until firm, allowing the gelatin to provide a sliceable consistency while preserving the luxurious creaminess of the filling. It's a sweet, rich treat that balances the chocolate and caramel elements of Snickers with the tanginess of cream cheese and sour cream, all without requiring oven time.
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups Oreo cookies or chocolate graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp butter melted, unsalted
Filling
- 12 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce homemade or store bought
- 2 cups Whipped Cream homemade, or 8 oz cool whip
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 1/2 tsp gelatin
- 1 cup Snickers candy bars chopped
Topping
- 1/2 cup peanuts roasted
- 2 tbsp caramel sauce
- 1 tbsp fudge sauce (optional)
- 1/3 cup Snickers candy bars chopped
Instructions
- To make the crust, in a medium size mixing bowl combine the Oreo crumbs, granulated sugar and salt. Pour the melted butter over top and stir until a soft wet mixture forms. Firmly press into a standard size pie plate or a 9-inch springform pan. Chill for 2 hours before adding the filling.
- Meanwhile, let your cream cheese and sour cream warm on the counter for at least 30 minutes before using.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl) beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the salt and vanilla, mix until combined. With mixing speed on low, add the sour cream and caramel, then bring up to medium speed. Beat until combined.
- In a small bowl mix the water along with the gelatin, then place in the microwave and heat for 25 seconds. Remove and whisk for 30 seconds, then allow to cool for 2 minutes.
- Fold in the whipped cream or Cool Whip along with the gelatin, then add in the Snickers chunks. Place into the crust, spread into an even layer. Top with peanuts, caramel, fudge (if desired) and Snickers chunks. Chill for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving, I prefer overnight.
