How to Make White Chocolate Cheesecake Snickers

Prepare the Crust

  1. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter.
  2. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. Melt the white chocolate and let it cool slightly.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add the melted white chocolate, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, mixing until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time until just incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped Snickers pieces.

Bake the Cheesecake

  1. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth the top.
  2. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for about 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set but slightly jiggly.
  3. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour.

Chill and Decorate

  1. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set.
  2. Drizzle caramel and chocolate sauce over the top.
  3. Sprinkle with more Snickers chunks and chopped peanuts for the ultimate finishing touch.

Pro Tips for Making White Chocolate Snickers Cheesecake

  • Use room temperature ingredients – This helps create a smoother batter without lumps.
  • Don’t overmix the eggs – Overbeating can incorporate too much air and cause cracks.
  • Bake in a water bath – This helps prevent cracks and ensures even cooking.
  • Let it cool gradually – Sudden temperature changes can cause the cheesecake to sink or crack.
