Best Homemade No-Bake Twix Cheesecake

Directions

Step 1: Make the Crust

1. Crush the shortbread cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and using a rolling pin.
2. In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to compact it firmly.
4. Refrigerate the crust for at least 20 minutes to set.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
5. Swirl in 1/4 cup caramel sauce gently with a spatula.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

1. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
2. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, to set.

Step 4: Add the Toppings

1. Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce and chocolate ganache over the top of the cheesecake.
2. Sprinkle the chopped Twix bars evenly across the surface.
3. Garnish with extra shortbread cookie crumbs if desired.

Step 5: Serve

1. Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving platter.
2. Slice and serve chilled.

Tips

• For a firmer crust: Bake the crust at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes, then cool completely before adding the filling.
• Use room-temperature cream cheese: This ensures a smooth and lump-free filling.
• Make ahead: This cheesecake can be made a day or two in advance, making it perfect for parties.

Enjoy this decadent, no-bake Twix cheesecake that’s bound to impress everyone!
