Scale
For the Crust:

- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 oz high-quality white chocolate, melted and cooled
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup fresh strawberry puree (blended and strained)
- 3 Snickers bars, chopped
For the Topping:
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 additional Snickers bar, chopped
- 2 oz white chocolate, melted
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs (or Oreos), melted butter, and sugar until combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract, melted white chocolate, sour cream, and heavy cream. Mix until incorporated.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition.
- Fold in the chopped Snickers and gently swirl in the fresh strawberry puree.
Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake
- Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
- Place the springform pan into a water bath to prevent cracking.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center slightly jiggles.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
Step 4: Chill and Decorate
- Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, top with fresh strawberry slices, chopped Snickers, and drizzled melted white chocolate.
- Add whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother cheesecake texture.
- A water bath helps prevent cracks and ensures even baking.
- For a stronger Snickers flavor, add a layer of chopped Snickers on top before serving.
- Let the cheesecake chill overnight for the best flavor and consistency.
