Step-by-Step Instructions for Snickers Cheesecake

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather all your ingredients and prepare your springform pan.
  • In a bowl, combine crushed dark chocolate cookies, melted unsalted butter, sugar, and salt. Mix until crumby. Press into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Soften cream cheese in a large mixing bowl, then beat with sugar until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth, then add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
  • Wrap the springform pan in aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in. Place in a larger baking dish and fill with hot water halfway up the sides.
  • Bake at 325°F for 1 hour, then let cool in the oven for 1 hour with the door cracked.
  • Cool the cheesecake at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Pour caramel sauce over the chilled cheesecake, and sprinkle with chopped salted peanuts.
  • Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over peas and caramel. Finish with flaked sea salt.
  • Warm a knife in hot water, slice through the cheesecake, and serve chilled.

Notes

Ensure the crust is evenly pressed into the pan for easier slicing. Chill overnight for best flavor meld.
