A Sweet Slice of History: The Twix Bar
The original Twix bar was first produced in the United Kingdom in 1967 and later introduced in the United States in 1979. Its magic lies in the layers: a crunchy biscuit, a creamy layer of caramel, all enveloped in smooth milk chocolate. Over time, Twix has become a beloved classic, inspiring a multitude of desserts—including this cheesecake masterpiece.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional, for a sweeter base)
For the Caramel Layer:
- 1 cup soft caramels (about 25 store-bought caramels)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
Optional Toppings:
- Chopped Twix bars
- Sea salt flakes
- Caramel drizzle
- Whipped cream
Method
1. Make the Crust
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter (and brown sugar, if using). Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to set.
2. Add the Caramel Layer
Melt caramels with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Pour this caramel over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Return the pan to the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the caramel layer. Smooth the top with a spatula. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. Make the Chocolate Ganache
Heat ½ cup heavy cream until steaming but not boiling. Pour it over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy. Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake and spread gently. Chill again for at least 1 hour, or until the ganache is set.
5. Garnish and Serve
Before serving, top with chopped Twix bars, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of sea salt for that extra wow factor.
Formation Tips for Dessert Lovers

- Chill is Key: Don’t rush the chilling steps—it helps the layers firm up and gives the dessert its distinct structure.
- Play with the Base: Swap graham crackers for Oreos or digestive biscuits for a twist on the crust.
