Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Place the vanilla wafers into a food processor and pulse until the wafers turn into crumbs.
- Add the melted butter to the wafer crumbs and pulse again until the crumbs and butter are just combined.
- Press the processed crumbs into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
- Combine the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl using a hand mixer until they are fully blended and smooth.
- Add the eggs and beat everything again until the mixture is creamy. Then pour the cream cheese mixture into the crust, smoothing it out with a spatula so it covers the entire crust.
- Put the cheesecake into the preheated oven and cook for 55 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake just slightly jiggles.
- Once the cheesecake is done baking, remove it from the oven. Take a knife and run it around the edge of the cheesecake then set it aside to cool.
- Place the cheesecake in the fridge and chill for four4 hours then remove the springform pan around the outside.
- Place the caramel bits and one tablespoon of heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
- Spread the caramel over the chilled cheesecake
- Put the semisweet chocolate chips into a small bowl. Place the heavy cream on the stove over medium heat until the cream starts to boil. Immediately take the cream off the heat and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Allow the cream and chocolate chips to sit for a minute then gently stir them together until smooth.
- Spoon the chocolate ganache onto the caramel cheesecake then spread the chocolate all over the cheesecake.
- To garnish the cheesecake, chop the mini Twix bars and sprinkle them over the cheesecake.
- Place the finished cheesecake back into the fridge and chill for about 30 more minutes. After the cheesecake has chilled drizzle any leftover caramel sauce over the top.
Notes
- Pull ingredients out of the fridge before baking to allow them to get to room temperature for best results.
- Place cream cheese in an oven that is preheated to 180 then turned off to get it to soften quickly. Placing eggs in warm water will do the same.
- Cheesecake is known for cracking, if yours cracks don’t worry you can easily cover it up with caramel layers.
- Store any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge. If you want to keep the toppings from falling off, you can also wrap it in plastic wrap if you’d like but it’s not necessary.
- You can also freeze this cheesecake for up to three months by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and placing in a freezer safe container then into the freezer. Allow the cheesecake to thaw before eating.
- Cut the cheesecake into small slices. This is a rich cheesecake recipe and a full large slice may be a lot to finish for someone.
