Butterfinger Candy Bar Cheesecake Recipes

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.
• Beat in the cream and vanilla.
• Add the eggs (They should already be lightly beaten); beat on a low speed until they are just combined.
• Stir in the chopped candy bar pieces.
• 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.
• Sprinkle the chopped candy bar pieces on top of the cake, and then drizzle with butterscotch or caramel topping.
• Refrigerate the leftovers.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Combine chocolate wafers and 2 candy bars in a blender; pulse into fine crumbs.
• Place about 1 cup of crumbs in an 8-inch pie pan. Pour in melted butter; press down with your fingers or a fork to make the crust.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes. Let cool.
• Blend cream cheese in a large bowl until almost smooth. Pour in condensed milk and mix until creamy. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract; mix until filling thickens slightly, 4 to 6 minutes. Fold in 1/2 cup crushed candy bars. Pour over crust and smooth the top.
• Refrigerate cheesecake until set, at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
