If you read my blog on a regular basis, you may recall that I am a huge fan of cheesecake. As a matter of fact, I love it… I could probably eat it every day if I had an amazing metabolism; but unfortunately I do not. You may also remember that I use a specific method each time I bake a cheesecake recipe. This method seems to help minimize the likelihood of cracks in my cheesecakes and involves nothing more than some foil, an oven bag and a little patience.
After mentioning my cheesecake baking methods in several posts, I started to receive emails asking for further clarification. So, I decided to bust out the video camera and record my second vlog and show you how I bake my recipe for Snickers Cheesecake.
This cheesecake recipe is deliciously indulgent and perfect for anyone that loves ooey gooey Snickers bars. It was a huge hit with Brian’s co-workers and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Snickers Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 stick unsalted butter; melted
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 32 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 20 Mini Snickers; cut in fourths
- ⅓ cup roasted peanuts; chopped
- ¼ cup caramel syrup
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Tightly wrap a 9 inch springform pan in heavy duty foil. This step prevents leaks when using a water bath. I also take the extra step by placing the foil wrapped spring form pan inside an oven bag while baking.
- 2. Mix together the crust ingredients and press into the bottom of your pan and about 1 inch up the sides. Bake for 7 minutes and cool completely on a wire rack.
- 3. Begin to boil a large pot of water for the water bath.
- 4. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with your paddle attachment, combine the sugar and cream cheese and cream together until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Make sure to scrape down the bowl in between each egg. Add heavy cream and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- 5. Pour batter into prepared crust. Place pan into a larger pan and pour boiling water into the larger pan until halfway up the side of the cheesecake pan.
- 6. Bake 45 to 55 minutes, the edges will appear to be set, but the center will still have some jiggle to it. At this point, close the oven door, turn the heat off, and let rest in the cooling oven for one hour. After one hour has passed, carefully remove the cheesecake from the water bath and place on a cooling rack to cool completely. Once the cake is completely cooled, place it into the refrigerator for at least 5 hours.
- 7. Top with Snickers bars, peanuts and caramel.
That cheesecake looks amazing!! Wow. Thanks for the great video. I love the idea of using an oven bag over the foil.
See Jamie, you are so going to get me in trouble. Now I gotta go make this, eat it and do an hour of cardio pilates. OMG this is sinful. It looks wonderful honey, what a fabulous creation, can’t wait to try it. = )
I think I would include this Snickers Cheesecake in my last meal on earth. I think that pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject! WOW. Loving your vlogs, girl. But we want to see YOU ;)
Wish my husband ate cheesecake! I tell, that is craziness, not liking cheesecake. But here I am, stuck with no one to make cheesecake for by myself!
First of all, your cheesecake is gorgeous! Second of all, your video is amazing, really great presentation. I checked out the cupcake one as well, and it’s equally fabulous. Awesome work, Jamie!
