Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted (slightly cooled)
Cheesecake Filling
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 oz Snickers bars, chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- Preparation Steps: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the cheesecake.
- Make the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust for your cheesecake.
- Beat Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition to maintain a smooth texture.
- Mix in Sour Cream and Vanilla: Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the mixture and combine until fully incorporated.
- Fold in Snickers: Gently fold the chopped Snickers bars into the cheesecake batter, distributing the pieces evenly without overmixing.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the batter over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and cool it on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours to fully set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Do not overbake; the cheesecake should have a slight jiggle in the center when done.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cheesecake.
- Chilling time is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly and develop its flavors.
- Chopped Snickers bars add a delightful texture and flavor but can also be substituted with other favorite candy bars if desired.
