Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the cheesecake filling:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 Snickers bars, chopped
- 1/2 cup pink M&Ms (plus extra for garnish)
- For the topping:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped Snickers bars
- 1/4 cup pink M&Ms, roughly chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9″ springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake 10 minutes, then cool.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream.
- Fold in chopped Snickers and ½ cup pink M&Ms, then pour filling into cooled crust.
- Bake for 55–60 minutes until center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off oven, crack door, and cool inside for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over chilled cheesecake.
- Top with chopped Snickers and pink M&Ms before slicing and serving chilled.
Notes
- Use regular, peanut butter, or other flavors of M&Ms for variation.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for extra sweetness.
- Add 1–2 Tbsp peanut butter to the filling for a peanut‑butter cheesecake twist.
- Freeze cheesecake (without topping) for up to 2 months—thaw in fridge before topping.
