Ingredients
For the Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1½ cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- Pinch fine sea salt
For the Cheesecake:
- 2, 8- ounce packages full-fat cream cheese , room temperature
- ¾ cup powdered sugar , sifted
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream or heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup gluten-free chocolate bars , chopped
- Additional chopped candy bars for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt together in a medium bowl. Once combined and the graham cracker crumbs are moistened, press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while making the filling so it will firm up.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Scrape down the bowl and add the powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- While the mixer is running on low speed, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Continue to beat on low until all the cream is added. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the bowl. Then slowly increase the speed of the mixer to medium and beat until the mixture is thick and creamy. Fold in the chopped candy bars.
- Transfer the cheesecake batter to the prepared graham cracker crust. Refrigerate at least 6-8 hours but preferably overnight. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- Before serving, garnish with additional chopped candy bars. Drizzle with caramel sauce or chocolate ganache, if desired.
Notes
Do not use whipped or spreadable cream cheese from the tub. Those types of cream cheese are too soft and the cheesecake may not set properly.
Use your favorite gluten-free chocolate candy bars.
