Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted (slightly cooled)

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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the cheesecake.
  2. Prepare Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust layer.
  3. Make Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  4. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to maintain a smooth texture.
  5. Mix in Sour Cream and Vanilla: Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  6. Fold in Snickers: Gently fold the chopped Snickers bars into the cheesecake batter to evenly distribute the candy pieces.
  7. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the center is just set but slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool. Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to fully set.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Do not overbake; the center should still have a slight jiggle to avoid cracking.
  • Chop Snickers bars into small pieces to distribute evenly without sinking to the bottom.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cheesecake.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time; it enhances the texture and flavor of the cheesecake.
