Ingredients

• For the Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or chocolate cookie crumbs/Oreos)​
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar​
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted​
• For the Filling:
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened​
  • 1 cup granulated sugar​
  • 1 cup sour cream​
  • 3 large eggs​
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract​
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt​
  • 1 1/2 cups Snickers bars, chopped​
  • Pink food coloring (gel or liquid)​
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for whipped topping)​
• For the Topping:
  • 1 cup pink M&Ms​
  • 1/2 cup Snickers bars, chopped​
  • Whipped cream (optional)​

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix cookie/graham crumbs, sugar, and butter. Press into the pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.​
3. Using a stand or hand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, eggs (one at a time), vanilla, and salt; mix until creamy.​
4. Fold in chopped Snickers. Add pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade—start with a small amount and increase as needed for a pretty pastel pink.​
5. Pour mixture onto the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.​
6. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly. Turn the oven off, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.​
7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing flavors to meld and firm up the texture.​
8. Before serving, top with pink M&Ms, extra chopped Snickers, and whipped cream if desired.

Pro Tips

• Swap the graham cracker crust for crushed Oreos for extra chocolate flavor.​
• Chill overnight for the firmest, creamiest texture and easiest slicing.​
• For easy cutting, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wipe between slices to keep edges neat.​
