Make Butterfinger Cheesecake: A Simple Method
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Crust - Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Finely crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor. Combine with melted butter and press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes and cool.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling - Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then mix in heavy whipping cream and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
  3. Step 3: Add the Butterfinger - Fold in coarsely chopped Butterfinger candy bars into the cheesecake batter.
  4. Step 4: Bake the Cheesecake - Pour filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
  5. Step 5: Cool and Chill - Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Step 6: Serve with a Twist - Drizzle with caramel topping and garnish with extra Butterfinger before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze the cheesecake wrapped well for up to 2 months.
  • Experiment with other candy bars like Snickers or Reese’s for a twist!
