I make No-Bake Twix Cheesecake when I want a decadent, easy dessert that combines creamy cheesecake with the irresistible crunch and caramel of Twix bars. It’s a no-bake treat that’s perfect for impressing guests or satisfying a sweet craving.
Why I’ll Love This Recipe
What I love most about this cheesecake is how it layers rich, smooth cheesecake filling with crunchy Twix pieces and gooey caramel. The no-bake method makes it simple to prepare without turning on the oven, and the combination of textures and flavors keeps me coming back for more.
ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
• graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
• cream cheese, softened
• powdered sugar
• heavy cream or whipped topping
• vanilla extract
• chopped Twix bars
• caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• optional: extra Twix pieces or caramel drizzle for topping
directions
I start by beating the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, I whip heavy cream or use whipped topping until stiff peaks form. I gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then stir in chopped Twix bars and caramel sauce. I spread this filling evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top. For extra indulgence, I sprinkle additional Twix pieces and drizzle more caramel on top. I chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
Servings and timing
This recipe serves about 8 people. Prep takes around 20 minutes, plus chilling time.
Variations
Sometimes I add chopped peanuts or crushed cookies for extra crunch. Using a chocolate cookie crust gives a richer flavor. I’ve also mixed in a bit of melted chocolate into the filling for a double chocolate twist.
storage/reheating
I store leftover cheesecake covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. It’s best served chilled and not reheated.
FAQs
Can I use other candy bars?
Yes, I substitute Twix with similar bars like Milky Way or Snickers.
How do I prevent the cheesecake from being too sweet?
I adjust the powdered sugar and caramel amount to balance sweetness.
Can I make this dessert vegan?
I use dairy-free cream cheese, whipped topping, and vegan caramel alternatives.
Can I prepare this cheesecake ahead of time?
Yes, chilling overnight improves the texture and flavor.
Can I freeze leftover cheesecake?
I freeze it tightly wrapped for up to 2 months, thawing in the fridge before serving.
Conclusion
No-Bake Twix Cheesecake is one of my favorite indulgent desserts that combines creamy cheesecake with crunchy, caramel-packed candy bars. It’s simple to make and always a hit at any gathering.
