Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 32 crushed Oreo cookies
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
For the Cheesecake:
- 3 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chopped Twix bars
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped Twix bars
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) to prepare for baking your cheesecake.
Step 2: Prepare the Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine 32 crushed Oreo cookies with 5 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust.
Step 3: Beat the Cream Cheese and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat together 3 (8 oz) packages of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Add the Eggs
Add 3 large eggs to the cream cheese mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will ensure a fluffy texture.
Step 5: Stir in Vanilla and Sour Cream
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 cup of sour cream to the bowl, mixing them in to enhance creaminess and flavor.
Step 6: Fold in the Twix Bars
Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped Twix bars into the cheesecake mixture. This will give your cheesecake those delightful chunks of caramel and chocolate.
Step 7: Pour Over the Crust
Carefully pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared Oreo crust in the springform pan.
Step 8: Bake the Cheesecake
Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. You want the center to be just set and slightly wobbly for the perfect texture.
Step 9: Cool the Cheesecake
Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature.
Step 10: Add Toppings
After the cheesecake has cooled, drizzle it with 1/2 cup of caramel sauce, then sprinkle 1/2 cup of chopped Twix bars and drizzle with 1/2 cup of melted chocolate chips on top.
Step 11: Chill
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least four hours or overnight if possible, to let the flavors meld and set properly.
