Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 9 ounces (255 grams) graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed
- ½ cup (110 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Filling:
- 21 ounces (600 grams) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 Twix bars, chopped (about 150 grams)
- ½ cup salted caramel sauce
Topping and Decoration:
- ¼ cup water
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 ounces (120 grams) semi-sweet chocolate
- ½ cup salted caramel sauce
- ½ cup salted caramel sauce
- Extra Twix bars, caramel shards, or crushed biscuits for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Craft the molten caramel essence by melting sugar and water in a saucepan over medium flame until it transforms into a rich amber liquid. Introduce cream cautiously, stirring vigorously to create a silky smooth texture. Incorporate butter, vanilla, and salt, then allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Prepare the foundation by combining graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until thoroughly integrated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined springform pan, creating an even, compact base. Chill the crust in the refrigerator to solidify.
- Whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until achieving a velvety consistency. Blend in caramel sauce, creating a luscious mixture. Separately, whisk heavy cream to stiff, billowy peaks and gently fold into the cream cheese base.
- Fold chopped Twix pieces throughout the creamy mixture, ensuring even distribution. Carefully pour the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate for a minimum of four hours to allow complete setting.
- Drizzle a layer of reserved caramel sauce across the surface, leaving a subtle border. Create a glossy chocolate ganache by heating cream and pouring over chocolate, stirring until achieving a perfect, glossy consistency.
- Pour the ganache over the caramel layer, creating an elegant finish. Return to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to ensure complete solidification.
- Embellish with additional Twix fragments, caramel shards, or crushed biscuit remnants for a dramatic presentation. Serve thoroughly chilled for maximum indulgence.
Notes
- Prevent caramel burning by watching the sugar closely and swirling the pan instead of stirring directly.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to create a smooth, lump-free filling that blends perfectly.
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk before whipping cream for faster, more stable peaks that maintain structure.
- Freeze Twix bars briefly before chopping to get cleaner, more precise cuts without crumbling.
