Notes
To ensure your Snickers Cheesecake has the perfect creamy texture, be sure to use room temperature ingredients, especially the cream cheese. This helps prevent any lumps and creates a smooth filling. If you're worried about cracks forming, a water bath will keep the cheesecake moist and evenly baked, giving you that flawless, silky finish. For a fun twist, feel free to experiment with additional toppings like chocolate shavings or a drizzle of peanut butter for an extra layer of flavor.
