INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup chopped Twix bars (plus extra for topping)
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- ½ cup chocolate sauce
HOW TO MAKE TWIX CHEESECAKE PIE
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Start by imagining your kitchen filled with the cozy scent of melted butter and graham crackers. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of your pie dish. I like to use the bottom of a measuring cup to get a smooth, even layer. Bake the crust for about 8 minutes, then set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. One by one, add the eggs, mixing just until incorporated — be careful not to overmix to avoid a dense texture. Gently fold in the sour cream, followed by the chopped Twix bars, letting those caramel-chocolate bits swirl through the creamy batter.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet (just in case of drips) and bake for about 40–45 minutes, until the center is just set and slightly wobbly. Let it cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight.
Step 4: Decorate and Serve
Once chilled, drizzle caramel sauce and chocolate sauce generously over the top of the cheesecake. Scatter extra chopped Twix pieces for an eye-catching and mouthwatering finish. When you slice into the pie, the knife glides through the creamy filling, crunchy base, and gooey toppings, making every bite unforgettable.
HELPFUL TIPS
- Use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for the creamiest texture.
- Chill the cheesecake pie fully before slicing — this helps it set perfectly and makes for cleaner slices.
- For an extra-decadent twist, you can even drizzle a bit of warmed caramel sauce on each plate before serving.
