Description
A rich and creamy no-bake cheesecake layered with a buttery chocolate biscuit crust, filled with smooth cream cheese and whipped cream, and studded with caramel chocolate pieces for a decadent dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed chocolate graham crackers
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
- 2 blocks (450 g total) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chopped Twix-style chocolate bars
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate ganache or melted chocolate
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix crushed chocolate graham crackers with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to keep it light and airy.
- Fold in the chopped chocolate bars evenly throughout the filling.
- Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the filling and swirl lightly with a knife.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Before serving, drizzle chocolate ganache on top and garnish with additional chopped chocolate bars if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Chill the cheesecake overnight for best texture and flavor.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer, creamier result.
- Digestive biscuits or vanilla cookies can replace chocolate graham crackers.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freeze for up to 1 month; thaw in the fridge before serving.
- Do not leave at room temperature for long periods.
- Use a warm knife for clean slices.
- Fresh whipped cream gives better texture than store-bought topping.
