Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 32 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 40 Kraft caramels, unwrapped
  • ½ can sweetened condensed milk
  • 5 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 12-16 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • q.s. Fun-sized Twix bars (for garnish) to taste

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Saucepan
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes and let cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with ⅓ cup of sugar and cornstarch until smooth. Add remaining cream cheese and blend well.
  4. Gradually add remaining sugar, vanilla, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in heavy cream until just combined. Pour over cooled crust.
  5. Wrap the springform pan in foil and place it in a larger pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water. Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Cool for 2 hours, then refrigerate to set.
  6. Melt caramels, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  7. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until boiling, then pour over chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth.
  8. Pour half of the caramel sauce over the cheesecake, refrigerate briefly, then pour the ganache on top. Chill until set.
  9. Top with chopped fun-sized Twix bars, slice, and drizzle with more caramel before serving.

Notes

For a smoother cheesecake, avoid overmixing the batter. To prevent cracks, always bake the cheesecake in a water bath. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
