Ingredients

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chopped Snickers bars (about 6 regular-sized bars)

For the Topping:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

½ cup chopped Snickers bars

Chocolate sauce (for drizzling)

Caramel sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, then allow to cool slightly while preparing the filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

- Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until combined. Mix in the vanilla extract.

- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing gently just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

- Fold in the sour cream and heavy cream until smooth. Gently mix in the chopped Snickers, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Bake the Cheesecake:

- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when shaken.

- Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour to prevent cracking.

Chill:

- After the cheesecake has cooled, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Prepare the Topping:

- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

- Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake.

Garnish:

- Sprinkle the remaining chopped Snickers bars on top and drizzle chocolate and caramel sauce generously over the cheesecake.

Serve:

- Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges. Serve chilled and enjoy the rich, nutty, and chocolatey layers!
