4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
4 eggs
1 package (4-serving size) vanilla pudding and pie filling mix (not instant)
2 teaspoons baking powder

1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 jar (12 oz) caramel topping
1 1/2 containers Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting
2 bars (2.05 oz each) Milky Way™ candy bars, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with shortening or cooking spray. Line bottoms of pans with cooking parchment paper rounds; lightly grease paper. Chop 2 candy bars into small pieces; store in refrigerator until needed.

Divide batter evenly between pans, about 4 cups per pan. Smooth top with off-set spatula.
  • Bake 55 to 60 minutes. Layers will puff up during baking and then deflate when removed from oven. Cool in pans on cooling racks 10 minutes. Freeze until solid, about 3 hours.

  • While Cheesecake Layers are freezing, heat oven to 350°F. Grease 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with shortening or cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, beat Cake ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Divide batter evenly among pans.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on cooling racks 10 minutes. Remove cake layers from pans onto cooling racks. Cool completely.
  • To assemble, place 1 cake layer on serving plate or cake stand. Spread 1/4 cup caramel topping over top of cake layer. Place 1 frozen cheesecake layer on top of cake layer; top with 1/4 cup caramel topping. Repeat layering with another cake layer, another cheesecake layer, and finally top with remaining cake layer. Do not coat top cake layer with caramel.
  • Use 1 container of frosting to evenly coat entire cheesecake. Using off-set spatula, swirl remaining container of frosting onto cake. Top with pieces from 2 candy bars. Refrigerate until cheesecake is well chilled before cutting, about 2 hours. Store in refrigerator.

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 cheesecake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs, about 35 (I used chocolate creme sandwich cookies, like Oreos, and took out the fluffy filling) or 36 wafers (I used chocolate creme sandwich cookies, like Oreos, and took out the fluffy filling)
1/3 cup butter, melted
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened (I don't know if using the less fat varieties will change how the cheesecake turns out)
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 eggs, lightly beaten
3 (2 1/8 ounce) butterfinger candy bars, frozen and chopped (2.1 oz each)
1 (2 1/8 ounce) butterfinger candy bars, frozen and chopped (2.1 oz)
2 tablespoons butterscotch sundae sauce (Caramel topping would be fine, too. That's what I used)

Steps:

  • Crust:.
  • In a small bowl, combine the crumbs and melted butter.
  • Press into the bottom and 1 1/2" up the sides of a greased 9" springform pan, and then, set aside.
  • Filling:.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until it is smooth and fluffy.

  • Pour into the crust.
  • Place the pan on a baking sheet (preferably one with sides).
  • Bake at 325 degrees until the center is almost set, about 60-70 minutes. The top should look golden brown, but make sure it isn't getting burnt. If it is, turn down the oven a little bit.
  • Cool it on a wire rack for ten minutes.
  • Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen. Make sure the knife is getting behind the crust and not cutting it off the cheesecake.
  • Cool the cheesecake at room temperature for another hour.
  • Put it in the refrigerator, and leave it there overnight.
  • The next day, remove the sides of the pan from the cheesecake.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your cheesecake. Choose a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese: Overbeating the cream cheese will make it dense and grainy. Beat it just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Use a springform pan: A springform pan is essential for making this cheesecake. It allows you to easily remove the cheesecake from the pan without breaking it.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly: The cheesecake needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Decorate with your favorite toppings: Once the cheesecake is chilled, you can decorate it with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include chocolate shavings, whipped cream, fresh berries, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Candy bar cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
