How to make No-Bake Twix Cheesecake

There are few steps you need to follow to make this Twix Cheesecake. First prepare the salted caramel sauce, then prepare the crust and continue with the cream cheese filling. Then prepare the chocolate ganache and decorate the cake.

Prepare the salted caramel sauce

To make the salted caramel sauce, combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Let it dissolve and turn caramel in color without stirring. Remove from heat, add cream (expect bubbling), and stir for a minute until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract, butter, and salt until well combined. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the crust

For the crust, line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Crush crackers or digestive biscuits in a food processor, then mix with melted butter until moistened. Press the mixture into the pan’s bottom using a spoon. Refrigerate while preparing the filling. Optionally, line the pan with acetate sheet for easier removal.

Prepare the caramel cream cheese filling

To prepare the cream cheese filling, cut Twix bars into small pieces. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and ½ cup of salted caramel sauce. In a separate bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and incorporate the Twix pieces. Pour the mixture over the crust and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Prepare the topping for the Twix cheesecake

Spread ½ cup of salted caramel sauce over the cream cheese filling, leaving a ½-inch border. Refrigerate while making the chocolate ganache.

For the chocolate ganache, melt chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Once melted, spread it evenly over the caramel layer. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

To finish, decorate with Twix bars, caramel shards, and crushed biscuits. Serve with remaining caramel sauce if desired.

The best part about this No-bake Twix Cheesecake is that it requires no oven time. After assembling the layers, the cheesecake needs to chill in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight to set, allowing the flavors to meld together and the texture to become firm and sliceable.

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, celebrating a special occasion, or simply craving a decadent dessert, the No-bake Twix Cheesecake is a showstopper that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more.

    Just wanted to let you know that I made this cheesecake today!!
    I usually find it very hard to make caramel and it always ends up crystallized.
    But with your recipe and techniques, I nailed it for the very first time.
    The cheesecake was delicious 🙂
    Thank you for the wonderful recipe!

  2. Vasilis Author says:

    I tried making this and it was great! I have a question though, while I was waiting for the crust+cream filling in the refrigerator, the cream sauce started crystallising. Is there a proper way to store the caramel sauce, while waiting for the rest of the cake, to avoid that?

  3. Ellen Daly says:

    I’ve made this cheesecake twice now, one of which I gifted to my neighbors. The ranted and raved about it. Thank you so much for an incredible recipe.

  5. I want to make this cake for a party but I have to drive an hour with it. Do you suggest freezing it so it doesn’t melt during the commute?
