Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers for a buttery, crisp base
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, to bind the crust
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened, for a rich, creamy texture
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for sweetness
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, for a hint of aromatic flavor
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks for lightness
- 1 cup chopped Snickers bars, for that signature snickers taste
- Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling
- Chopped peanuts, for garnish
How To Make No Bake Snickers Cheesecake
1. Crafting the Crust: Combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter, pressing the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form a firm, inviting base. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.
2. The Creamy Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and inviting. Gently fold in the whipped cream, then add the chopped Snickers bars, mixing until just combined to maintain the light, airy texture.
3. Assembling the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, using a spatula to smooth the top into an even layer. This is where the magic happens, as the filling settles into the crust, promising a slice of heaven in every bite.
4. The Final Touch: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until it’s set and ready to take center stage on your dessert table. Before serving, drizzle generously with chocolate and caramel sauce, then sprinkle with chopped peanuts for a finish that’s as visually appealing as it is delicious.
