Extra indulgent snickers cheesecake

Ingredients

Crust :

• 1 Snickers
• 8 oz digestive biscuits
• 1 handful of roasted salted peanuts
• 3.5 Tbsp butter

Cheesecake :

• 1/2 cup cream cheese
• 3/4 cup heavy cream (30% fat)
• 3/4 cup mascarpone
• 4 Tbsp icing sugar
• 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Salted butter caramel :

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 Tbsp salted butter
• 3/4 cup heavy cream (30% fat)

Decoration :

• 1 handful of peanuts
• 1.7 oz melted chocolate

Materials

• Springform pan 7 inches diameter
• Baking sheet
• 1 saucepan
• 1 spatula
• 1 electric mixer

Preparation

• Melt the butter with the Snickers in a water bath. Chop the biscuits finely and pour in the melted butter. Mix again.
• Pour this mixture into a greased springform pan lined with baking paper. Spread evenly in the bottom and up the sides using a spoon or a glass. Chill (while preparing the rest).
  
• Salted butter caramel :
  Melt the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Shake the saucepan occasionally.
• Once the sugar is melted, add the salted butter all at once (be careful of splashes!) and stir. Add the cream and mix well.
  
• When the mixture boils, stir for about 10 minutes to thicken the caramel. Set aside.
• Whisk the cream, mascarpone, icing sugar, and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the cream cheese (at room temperature) using a spatula.
  
• Pour the mixture into the mold over the crust. Top with peanuts (keep some for later ↓). Pour the salted caramel on top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
• Melt the chocolate. Unmold the cheesecake and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle the melted chocolate on top to decorate the cheesecake.
  
• Add peanuts on top and there you have it! Your Snickers cheesecake is ready!

Observations

You can of course use ready-made salted butter caramel! We used roasted salted peanuts, but you can use plain ones :-)
