Tips on Making Snickers Cheesecake
You’ll wonder why you spent all that money on the Cheesecake Factory snickers cheesecake all these years when you could’ve easily made it in the comfort of your own home. Follow these handy tips on how to make an easy snickers cheesecake:
- Our recipe allows you to decide if you want to use a classic graham cracker crust or an Oreo crust. Choosing a graham crust will balance out the sweetness from the snickers and caramel. If you prefer a much sweeter cheesecake, we suggest going for an Oreo crust.
- Coat the crumbs in butter well and mix. The butter helps your crumbs stick together and solidify so your crust doesn’t break apart. This is why it’s important that you combine them well.
- Chill the Snickers candy bars. We recommend you keep them refrigerated for several hours to make them easier to chop. Skipping this step and chopping the candy bars at room temperature will be messy and sticky.
- Whip the filling until it’s very thick. This will take at least 4 minutes. The thicker the filling, the less chances for the chopped chocolate pieces to sink to the bottom of the filling.
- Leave the baked cheesecake inside the oven for 1 hour but keep the door open once the timer is up. If you take it out too quickly, the sudden temperature change may cause your cake crust to crack.

Commonly Asked Questions
How do I tell if the cheesecake is done?
Generally, you can perform a jiggle test on cheesecakes so you know they are done. This test is applicable on this Snickers cheesecake recipe. First, you have to take the cheesecake out of the oven. Then, gently hold and wiggle the pan. If it jiggles just slightly in the pan, then that’s a good sign that it’s ready.
