Snickers Cheesecake

These days is not an afternoon for restraint, or weight-reduction plan, or maybe my common "as herbal as viable" food. today, we're making one in all my favourite versions of my absolute preferred indulgence : cheesecake. And no longer simply any cheesecake: a Snickers Cheesecake.

While served cooled from the oven, it is smooth and creamy, but my favored manner to serve it's miles after you've got chilled the cheesecake in a single day, making it extra of a new york style cheesecake.

Snickers Cheesecake

The toppings on this cheesecake are absolutely optional, but they do upload a ton of "Wow" component, AND make the entire baking process significantly much less stressful via putting off any worry of a cracked pinnacle.

Yep, your cheesecake may additionally crack, but it is okay because you could douse it in caramel sauce and nuts and extra Snickers and greater caramel and greater nuts and ... properly, you get the concept.
