Instructions
Creating Butterfinger Cheesecake can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3. Press the Crust: Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
4. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
5. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.
6. Incorporate the Sour Cream: Add the sour cream and heavy cream, mixing until smooth.
7. Fold in Butterfingers: Gently fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars into the cheesecake mixture.
8. Pour into Pan: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
9. Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.
10. Cool: Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool for at least 30 minutes. Then, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
11. Chill: Once cool, cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
12. Serve: Before serving, sprinkle additional crushed Butterfinger on top for garnish.
