👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. The Base: Combine the crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge while you prep the rest. 🍪📏❄️
  2. The Creamy Center: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. 🌪️🥣
  3. Whip It: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fluffy. 🥛☁️🤝
  4. Assemble Layer 1: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust. Chill for at least 1 hour. 🏗️⏲️
  5. The Gooey Center: Melt caramels and 2 tbsp cream in the microwave in 30-second bursts until smooth. Let it cool slightly, then pour over the cheesecake layer. 🍬🔥🍮
  6. The Ganache: Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until glossy. Pour over the set caramel layer. 🍫🥛✨🤤
  7. Final Flourish: Top with plenty of chopped Twix bars! 🍫💎✨
  8. Set & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 6 hours (or overnight) to ensure it’s perfectly firm. 🍽️❄️🎯

🔥 Pro Tips:

  • The “Clean Slice” Secret: Use a hot knife (dip it in warm water and wipe dry) to get those perfect, professional-looking layers when you slice. 🔪🔥💎
  • No Springform? No problem! You can make these as individual “Cheesecake Jars” for a cute party favor. 🍯🎉
