Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs or crushed Oreos
- ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 Snickers bars, chopped
- Pink food coloring (gel preferred)
- 1 cup M&Ms, for topping
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Extra Snickers or M&Ms for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Use a rolling pin or food processor to crush cookies into fine crumbs.
- Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture into a springform pan, smoothing the surface with a measuring cup.
- Chill the crust in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- In a saucepan, melt the chocolate chips over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and let the chocolate cool to warm (not hot).
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually mix in the cooled melted chocolate until fully blended.
- Fold in chopped Snickers bars gently with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, stir some pink food coloring into a bit of the filling, then fold back into the main filling for even color.
- In a separate bowl, beat cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the pink chocolate filling until just combined.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Remove cheesecake from the pan and place on a serving plate.
- Decorate the top with whipped cream, M&Ms, and additional Snickers pieces if desired.
Notes
- Use full-fat block cream cheese for the creamiest texture.
- Gel food coloring gives strong color without thinning the filling.
- For the best slice, chill overnight before serving.
- Homemade whipped cream or a high-quality store-bought brand will give the best topping results.
