Ingredients
Method
Prepare the crust
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, smoothing it flat with the back of a measuring cup.
- Sprinkle the 1/2 cup chopped Twix bars evenly over the crust. Chill the crust in the fridge while you make the filling.
Make the filling
- In a large bowl, beat the room-temperature cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat until combined.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks.
- Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until the filling is smooth and airy.
- Fold in 1 cup of caramel sauce in ribbons — don’t overmix; swirls are delicious.
Assemble
- Spoon half of the filling over the chilled crust and spread gently. Drizzle a few tablespoons of extra caramel on top and swirl with a knife.
- Spread the remaining filling over that and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Finish with chocolate
- About 15 minutes before serving, melt the chopped chocolate with the coconut oil in the microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Let it cool slightly, then pour the cooled chocolate over the top of the cheesecake, letting it drip down the sides, and sprinkle with a few chopped Twix pieces.
- Drizzle with extra caramel for a pretty finish.
- Slice with a hot, dry knife for clean pieces.
Notes
For a neater appearance, run your knife under hot water and dry it between cuts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze wrapped tightly for up to 2 months.
