Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare either a 9-inch springform pan by greasing liberally with cooking spray or butter.
-
In a separate bowl, stir together the crust ingredients until evenly mixed. Then press into the bottom of the pan, either just on the bottom or also about 1 inch up onto the sides. Bake for 7 minutes and cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Begin to boil a large kettle or pot of water for the water bath.
-
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the sugar and cream cheese and cream together until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.
-
Make sure to scrape down the bowl in between each egg. Add heavy cream and vanilla and mix until smooth. Do not overmix. Pour batter into prepared crust.
-
Once the kettle or pot of water is boiling, carefully place a large baking dish on the lower rack of the oven and pull the rack out a few inches, and then pour the water into it.
-
Place the cheesecake pan in the oven, and bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until the edges appear to be set, but the center still has a slight jiggle to it.
-
At this point, close the oven door, turn the heat off, and let rest in the cooling oven for 1 hour. After one hour has passed, carefully remove the cheesecake and place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cake is completely cooled, place it into the refrigerator for at least 5 hours.
-
Serve topped with caramel, Snickers, and peanuts.
