Kit-Kat Cheesecake

 

 

Kit-Kat Cheesecake

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Kit-Kat bars, enough to line the edge of the pan

For the Filling:

3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1/2 cup sour cream

For the Topping:

Crumbled Kit-Kat bars

Chocolate syrup or ganache (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Arrange whole Kit-Kat bars upright around the edge of the pan, pressing them gently into the crust to secure.

 

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add vanilla and mix.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Fold in the sour cream.

Pour the filling into the prepared crust, being careful not to disturb the Kit-Kat bars.

 

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.

 

Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Before serving, top with crumbled Kit-Kat bars and drizzle with chocolate syrup or ganache if desired. Slice and enjoy!
