Snickers Cheesecake

This recipe came about one night from a craving for Snickers!! So what better way to make a snickers cheesecake we thought than throw a load of snickers into it. We used chopped pieces of snickers on the base of the cheesecake which is made up from chocolate digestive biscuits. Then we baked our favourite cheesecake mixture for the cheesecake. To finish the snickers cheesecake we roasted some peanuts which were sprinkled on top then we made a toffee sauce to go on top.

All in all it actually tastes very much like a snickers (how can it not though?!). If you remove the snickers and peanuts then the toffee sauce also works well with this cheesecake. And the chocolate digestive base turns into a heavenly golden base that goes well with the creamy cheesecake.

  1. This looks incredible! YUM.

  2. Hi, I’d really want to try your cheesecake recipe but I can’t find double cream here:( would it be alright to use whipping cream instead (at 35.1%)?

    • Mongolian Chef

      Hi you can use whipping cream or any other kind of heavy cream, it’s really just to loosen the mixture up a little and take the edge off the cream cheese. Good luck, let us know how you get on.

    This sounds great and quite easy so I am planning on making this at the weekend, can somebody please tell me what oven temp to bake the cheesecake at and also if I could use a silicone cake mould?! Thank you :)

    • The Mongolian Chef

      Hi, we recommend baking at 140 degree Celsius oven, it will take a while but will avoid over baking the cheesecake. It’s probably best to use a baking tin instead of the silicone cake mould.
