Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Assembly

  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • Additional chocolate chips and heavy cream for drizzle (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup of melted butter until the mixture is well blended. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even crust layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the crust to set.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate Layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the chilled crust. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for 15 to 20 minutes until the chocolate layer firms up.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 cups of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream to add a light and airy texture to the filling.
  4. Assemble the Layers: Spoon the prepared cheesecake filling evenly over the set chocolate layer. Pour 1 cup of caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer and smooth it out gently with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
  5. Final Chocolate Drizzle (Optional): Melt additional chocolate chips with a small amount of heavy cream in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Drizzle this melted chocolate over the caramel layer, allowing some to cascade down the sides of the cheesecake for decoration.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the fully assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until completely set. Once set, slice and enjoy the rich, multi-layered flavors reminiscent of a Twix bar in cheesecake form.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure to soften the cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • You can prepare the cheesecake a day ahead to allow flavors to meld better.
  • For easier slicing, dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts.
  • If you prefer a firmer crust, you can bake the crust for 8 minutes at 350°F (optional, but not required).
  • The optional chocolate drizzle enhances presentation but can be omitted if desired.
