Gather Your Ingredients
Here's a roundup of ingredients you'll need:
For the Crust:
- 200g Twix fingers
- 55g unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 340g full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- 150g dulce de leche or caramel sauce
- 140g double or heavy cream
- 60g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Caramel Drizzle:
- 250g dulce de leche or caramel sauce
- 60ml double or heavy cream
For the Topping:
- 200ml double or heavy cream, whipped
- 100g Twix fingers, roughly chopped
Prepping the Crust
Start by crushing the Twix fingers into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender. Alternatively, place them in a resealable plastic bag and bash with a rolling pin until you achieve a sandy texture.
In a bowl, combine the melted butter with the crushed Twix and mix well. Press the buttery crumb mixture firmly into the base of a 23cm springform or loose-bottomed cake tin. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Creating the Delicious Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the dulce de leche and continue to beat until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Sift the icing sugar into the bowl, then add the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat until the cream starts to thicken and hold its shape. Be careful not to over-beat, as this could make the filling too runny.
Once the cheesecake filling is ready, spoon it gently onto the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Smooth the top for an even surface. Return the chilled cheesecake to the refrigerator while you prepare the caramel drizzle.
Prepare the Luxurious Caramel Drizzle
The secret to a perfect caramel drizzle is patience. Heat the dulce de leche or caramel sauce gently over low heat until warmed through.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously until fully combined and the sauce reaches a velvety consistency. Allow it to cool slightly before drizzling over the cheesecake.
Assembling the Masterpiece
Once the caramel sauce has cooled slightly, carefully pour it evenly over the cheesecake filling. Gently spread it out to create a beautiful glossy layer.
When ready to serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from its tin. Top with whipped cream and chopped Twix fingers. Serve chilled and enjoy the ultimate Twix indulgence!
Offer this indulgent no-bake cheesecake to your loved ones, and watch as their eyes widen in delight. The perfect blend of sweet cheesecake and smooth caramel, topped with crunchy Twix cookies, will earn you a standing ovation. So go ahead, indulge, and enjoy the wow factor β you deserve it!
