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
- Preparation Steps: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to ensure a proper baking environment for the cheesecake.
- Make the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter in a bowl. Mix thoroughly, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a firm, even crust layer.
- Beat Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, free of lumps.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a seamless batter without overmixing.
- Combine Sour Cream and Vanilla: Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract thoroughly until the filling is well combined and smooth.
- Fold in Snickers: Gently fold the chopped Snickers bars into the cheesecake batter, distributing the candy pieces evenly without breaking them down too much.
- Assemble and Bake: Pour the batter over the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and cool it on a wire rack to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smoother blending and a lump-free batter.
- Do not overbake; the center should remain slightly jiggly to avoid a dry texture.
- For easier slicing, chill the cheesecake overnight.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal without damaging the crust or filling.
- The chopped Snickers bars add texture and sweetness, but you can adjust the amount to preference.
