Ingredients
For the Oreo Crust
- 2 cup Oreos, crushed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For Cheesecake Filling
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup white granulated sugar
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups mini snicker bars, chopped
For Caramel Peanut Layer
- 10 ounces soft caramel candies
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup salted peanuts
For Choclate Ganache Topping
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- Extra chopped snicker bites
Instructions
- Start by lining your springform pan with parchment paper. This little step will make removing the cheesecake later a breeze.
- In a bowl, mix crushed Oreos with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the pan. (Pro tip: Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass for an even, compact crust.) Freeze while you prepare the filling.
- After that, whip up the cheesecake filling. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and heavy cream, blending until velvety.
- One at a time, add eggs. On the last egg, toss in sour cream and vanilla. Mix until you have a creamy, dreamy batter.
- Fold in those chopped Snickers for bursts of caramel, chocolate, and peanut in every bite.
- Pour the filling over your crust. Bake for 60 minutes at 325°F. Once done, turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let it cool gradually for an hour. This helps prevent cracks!
- Melt caramel candies with heavy cream over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in salted peanuts and pour over the cooled cheesecake. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Heat heavy cream until steaming, then pour over chocolate chips and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for two minutes before whisking into a glossy ganache.
- Pour over the cheesecake, letting it drip down the sides.
- For the grand finale, add extra Snickers chunks around the edges. Refrigerate for at least two hours to let all the layers set perfectly.
