I found this recipe in a cookbook that is a few years old. I decided to try it out for an auction we were having to raise money for our trip to Utah. It turned out fantastic, and it sold for $60, if I remember correctly.

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 cheesecake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs, about 35 (I used chocolate creme sandwich cookies, like Oreos, and took out the fluffy filling) or 36 wafers (I used chocolate creme sandwich cookies, like Oreos, and took out the fluffy filling)
1/3 cup butter, melted
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened (I don't know if using the less fat varieties will change how the cheesecake turns out)
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 eggs, lightly beaten
3 (2 1/8 ounce) butterfinger candy bars, frozen and chopped (2.1 oz each)
1 (2 1/8 ounce) butterfinger candy bars, frozen and chopped (2.1 oz)
2 tablespoons butterscotch sundae sauce (Caramel topping would be fine, too. That's what I used)

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.

BUTTERFINGER CHEESECAKE

I found this one on razzledazzlerecipes.com my nephew asked me to make him a Butterfinger cheesecake for his 18th birthday and I was surprised to find no posted recipes here on zaar. Anyway this is what I turned up. Hope he likes it. Caution cheesecakes need about 8-10 hours to refrigeration so it's best to make the day before.

Tips:

  • For the cheesecake filling, use full-fat cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature. This will help ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Do not overmix the cheesecake filling. Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to become dense and crumbly.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating. This will help the cheesecake set properly.
  • For the Butterfinger ganache, use heavy cream that has been heated until it is just simmering. Do not boil the heavy cream, as this will cause the ganache to seize.
  • Add the Butterfinger pieces to the ganache immediately after removing it from the heat. This will help the Butterfinger pieces to melt and combine with the ganache.
  • Pour the ganache over the cooled cheesecake and refrigerate until set.

Conclusion:

This Butterfinger Candy Bar Cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the creamy cheesecake filling, the rich Butterfinger ganache, and the crunchy Butterfinger pieces is irresistible. Follow these tips to ensure your cheesecake turns out perfectly.
