- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
For the Peanut Caramel Layer
- 1 cup (200g) caramel candies (soft caramels)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ cup (75g) roasted salted peanuts, chopped
For the White Chocolate Coating
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate, melted
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (for smooth coating)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Base
- Line a 9×9-inch (23cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture is evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan, creating a smooth, even layer.
- Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.
Step 2: Make the Strawberry Cheesecake Layer
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add vanilla extract and heavy cream, mixing until fluffy.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries without overmixing.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled cookie base.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
Step 3: Add the Peanut Caramel Layer
- In a small saucepan, heat caramel candies and heavy cream over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Stir in chopped peanuts and mix well.
- Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.
- Refrigerate for another hour until set.
Step 4: Coat with White Chocolate
- Melt white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
- Stir in coconut oil to create a thinner consistency.
- Remove the chilled bars from the pan and cut into squares or bars.
- Dip each bar into melted chocolate, covering it completely, then place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Let the bars set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, freeze the bars for 30 minutes before coating in chocolate.
- You can substitute milk or dark chocolate for a different flavor.
- If the caramel is too hard, heat it with an extra tablespoon of cream to soften it.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
