1/4 cup peanut butter to swirl into the filling for an extra creamy, nutty flavor
1/2 cup crushed pretzels to replace graham crackers if you’re craving a salty crunch

For a gluten-free version simply swap the graham crackers with gluten-free crackers or an almond flour crust.
Use Greek yogurt or light cream cheese for a slightly healthier alternative without sacrificing taste.
If you’re not a fan of Snickers you can replace them with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or even chocolate-covered almonds for a different yet equally satisfying crunch.
With these ingredients you’re ready to create a cheesecake that’s loaded with flavor and texture. Each layer brings its own unique taste, from the buttery crust to the creamy filling, with the Snickers and strawberries adding the perfect finishing touches. Let’s dive into the next step and start assembling this irresistible dessert!

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs (or Oreos) and sugar.
Add the melted butter and a pinch of salt (if using unsalted butter). Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture is slightly moist.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon to compact it tightly, creating a solid base for your cheesecake.
Bake the crust for about 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely while you prepare the filling.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can use an electric mixer or a hand whisk for this.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream; the goal is to keep the filling light and airy.
Fold in the chopped Snickers pieces, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Once the crust has cooled, pour the cheesecake filling into the pan over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Gently tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles and help the filling settle evenly.
Place the cheesecake in the fridge and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for the perfect texture.

Once the cheesecake has set, arrange the sliced strawberries on top in a decorative pattern.
Garnish with the remaining chopped Snickers pieces.
If desired, drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.

When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving platter.
Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts, and enjoy every rich, creamy, and crunchy bite of this decadent dessert.
This Snickers Strawberry Cheesecake is easy to make, but the flavors and textures will have everyone thinking you spent hours in the kitchen. The crunchy, buttery crust, the creamy filling, and the sweet toppings come together in a dessert that’s both comforting and impressive. Enjoy
