Instructions
- Prepare the salted caramel by cooking sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until deep amber. Carefully stir in cream, butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Set aside to cool completely.
- Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter. Press firmly into the base of a springform pan and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and caramel sauce until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the chilled cream to soft peaks and gently fold into the cream cheese mixture along with chopped Twix bars.
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smooth the top, and refrigerate overnight.
- Once set, spread the remaining caramel sauce evenly over the cheesecake.
- Heat cream and pour over chopped chocolate. Stir until smooth to make ganache, then pour over the caramel layer.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set, then decorate with Twix bars, caramel shards, and crushed biscuits before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese.
- Ensure the cheesecake is fully set before adding the ganache.
