Ingredients for Homemade No-Bake Twix Cheesecake

To recreate the iconic flavors of a Twix bar in cheesecake form, you’ll need a handful of carefully selected ingredients that come together to form each luscious layer. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Digestive Biscuits or Graham Crackers – The base of this cheesecake is made with crushed biscuits, providing the classic crunch and buttery flavor reminiscent of a Twix crust.
• Unsalted Butter – Melted butter is used to bind the biscuit base, ensuring it holds together firmly.
• Cream Cheese – Softened cream cheese forms the creamy, tangy filling of the cheesecake. It’s the perfect contrast to the sweetness of the caramel and chocolate layers.
• Powdered Sugar – Adds just the right amount of sweetness to the cheesecake filling without making it too heavy.
• Vanilla Extract – A dash of vanilla enhances the flavor of the cheesecake filling, giving it a smooth and aromatic finish.
• Caramel Sauce – A thick, gooey caramel layer is the highlight of this dessert, adding the signature Twix flavor. Use high-quality store-bought caramel or make your own at home for the best results.
• Chocolate – Melted milk or dark chocolate creates the decadent topping that completes the Twix-inspired look and taste.
• Heavy Cream – A small amount of heavy cream is mixed with the melted chocolate to achieve a glossy, smooth finish.

How to Make Homemade No-Bake Twix Cheesecake

Follow these simple steps to layer and assemble your no-bake Twix cheesecake masterpiece:

Step 1:
Prepare the biscuit base by crushing the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.

Step 2:
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place it back in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

Step 3:
Once the cheesecake layer is firm, pour a thick layer of caramel sauce over it, spreading it evenly. Be generous—this is where the gooey, sweet magic happens! Chill the cheesecake again for 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set slightly.

Step 4:
Melt the chocolate with the heavy cream in a microwave or double boiler until smooth and glossy. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading it gently to cover the entire surface. Sprinkle with crushed biscuits or leave plain for a sleek finish.

Step 5:
Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to ensure all the layers set beautifully.

Step 6:
When ready to serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into pieces. Enjoy the indulgent layers of biscuit, creamy cheesecake, caramel, and chocolate in every bite!

How Long to Chill a No-Bake Twix Cheesecake

For the best results, it’s important to give each layer of your no-bake Twix cheesecake enough time to set properly. Here’s a guideline to follow:

• Biscuit Base – Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to ensure it holds together when layered with the cheesecake filling.
• Cheesecake Layer – Allow 2-4 hours for this layer to firm up before adding the caramel and chocolate layers. For the creamiest texture, chilling overnight is recommended.
• Assembled Cheesecake – Once the caramel and chocolate layers are added, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve the perfect set and easy slicing.

How to Store Leftovers

If you have leftover Twix cheesecake (lucky you!), here’s how to store it properly:

• Refrigerator – Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Freezer – For longer storage, slice the cheesecake into individual portions and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, then place in an airtight container or freezer bag. It can be frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

Tips for the Perfect No-Bake Twix Cheesecake

• Use Room-Temperature Cream Cheese – Let your cream cheese sit at room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
• Press the Base Firmly – Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to press the biscuit base firmly into the pan. This will prevent it from crumbling when sliced.
• Chill Between Layers – Ensure each layer is properly chilled before adding the next to avoid mixing or sliding.
• Decorate for Extra Flair – Sprinkle crushed biscuits, drizzle caramel, or add chocolate shavings on top for a decorative touch.
