Ingredients
Base:
- 350 g shortcake biscuits finely crushed
- 130 g unsalted butter melted
Cheesecake:
- 350 ml double cream cold
- 500 g full-fat cream cheese room temperature
- 120 g icing sugar sifted
- 120 g Carnation caramel
Topping:
- 100 ml double cream hot
- 125 g dark chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
- 6 Twix Fingers Chopped in to 1cm pieces
Instructions
For the base
- Line an 8” springform cake tin with a circular piece of non-stick baking paper, as this will make the cheesecake easier to remove from the tin later
- In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed biscuits and melted butter with a spoon until fully combined
- Firmly press the mix into your prepared cake tin with your hands or the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for now
For the cheesecake
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the double cream with an electric whisk to form stiff peaks
- In another bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, icing sugar, and Carnation caramel until smooth and creamy
- Fold the whipped cream into the mix with a rubber spatula until fully combined
- Spoon it onto your base, spread it out to the edges making sure there are no gaps, then smooth out the top
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight if you can
- To remove from the tin, run a sharp knife carefully around the inside of the tin, then remove the edge of the cake tin and transfer the cheesecake onto a wire rack
For the ganache topping
- Place the chocolate in a small bowl, then heat the double cream in a microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a small saucepan until just before boiling point
- Gently pour the hot cream over the chocolate and leave it to stand for 2-3 minutes
- Slowly stir the cream and chocolate together until smooth and fully combined
- Let it cool for about 10 minutes. It should be thick but pourable
- Pour it over the cheesecake, letting it drip down the edges and smooth it out
- Place some chunks of Twix on top
- Pop it back in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours to allow the topping to set before serving
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
Notes
- For the ganache topping, an alternative method is to place the double cream and dark chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between until melted and smooth.

The recipe I am looking for was called No Bake Salted Caramel Twix Cheesecake. The picture I saw showed Twix standing up around the outside edge of the springform pan. I did not have time to read the ingredients or print it out at that time. I am trying to find it to make it now. It showed Fitwaffle Kitchen. I would certainly like to have it. Thanks.
