Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) chocolate cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter, melted
Filling:
- 2 packages (16 ounces / 454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) whipped cream
Topping:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) Twix bars, chopped
Instructions
- Create a rich foundation by combining crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter, firmly pressing the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to establish a sturdy base.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, uniform consistency that is free of lumps.
- Delicately incorporate chopped Twix bars and freshly whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution without deflating the airy texture.
- Carefully transfer the luxurious filling over the prepared chocolate cookie crust, using a spatula to create a perfectly smooth and level surface.
- Place the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the dessert to solidify and develop rich, complex flavors.
- When ready to serve, gently release the springform pan’s edges and transfer the chilled cheesecake to a serving platter, presenting a decadent dessert that showcases layers of creamy texture and chocolate-caramel notes.
Notes
- Choose cookies with high cocoa content for a richer, more intense chocolate base that complements the Twix bars.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent lumps and create a smoother, silkier filling texture.
- Chop Twix bars into small, uniform pieces to distribute the caramel and chocolate evenly throughout the cheesecake.
- Chill the springform pan before pressing the crust to help it set faster and create a more stable base.
