Heath Bar Cheesecake
Ingredients:
For the crust:
– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– ¼ cup sugar
For the filling:
– 32 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup sour cream
– ½ cup heavy cream
– 4 Heath Bars, chopped
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar for the crust. Mix until well combined and press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, creating an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Fold in the sour cream and heavy cream until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Gently fold in the chopped Heath Bars, reserving some for topping the cheesecake later.
6. Pour the filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
7. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips and place it in the preheated oven.
8. Bake the cheesecake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
9. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
10. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set completely.
11. Before serving, sprinkle the remaining chopped Heath Bars over the top of the cheesecake for additional texture and flavor.
12. Slice the Heath Bar Cheesecake into portions and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy cheesecake and crunchy toffee pieces.
