Ingredients
- Crushed Graham Crackers (2 cups)
The base of our crust; these crumbs will provide that classic crunch. You can crush them in a food processor or in a plastic bag with a rolling pin for easy prep. - Melted Butter (1/2 cup)
Butter holds our crust together, adding a rich, buttery flavor. Pour it over the crushed graham crackers and mix well for a sturdy base. - Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (1 cup)
Melted and layered over the crust to give the first chocolatey punch that complements the caramel. - Heavy Cream (1/2 cup, divided)
This will make the chocolate layer smooth and add creaminess to the cheesecake filling. Divide it as needed for both the chocolate and caramel layers. - Cream Cheese (16 oz, softened)
The star of the cheesecake layer! Let it come to room temperature to ensure a smooth, creamy texture in the filling. - Powdered Sugar (1/2 cup)
Adds just the right amount of sweetness to the cheesecake filling, keeping it silky and light. - Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon)
Enhances the flavor of the cheesecake layer and adds a warm, classic note. - Caramel Sauce (3/4 cup)
Rich and gooey, this layer sits right above the cheesecake for that iconic Twix taste. You can use store-bought or homemade caramel. - Milk Chocolate Chips (1 cup)
Melted to create the topping layer for that perfect chocolate coating reminiscent of a Twix bar.
How to Make the No-Bake Twix Cheesecake
Step 1: Make the Crust
Combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a bowl until the crumbs are well-coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer for your crust. Pop it into the fridge to set while you prepare the next layer.
Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Layer
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Pour this melted chocolate over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Return the pan to the fridge to set the chocolate layer.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Layer
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this cheesecake filling over the chocolate layer in the pan, smoothing out the top. Place the pan back in the fridge to set for about 20 minutes.
Step 4: Add the Caramel Layer
Pour the caramel sauce over the cheesecake layer, spreading it out carefully to cover the entire surface. Place the pan back in the fridge to chill while you prepare the final layer.
Step 5: Prepare the Chocolate Topping
Melt the milk chocolate chips with the remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream until smooth. Pour this melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly for a glossy finish.
Step 6: Chill and Serve
Chill the entire cheesecake in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or until all the layers are fully set. For the best results, let it sit overnight. Once set, slice and serve your luxurious, Twix-inspired cheesecake!
