Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups (150g) shortbread cookie crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs)

• 3 tbsp (45g) unsalted butter, melted

• 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• ¼ cup (60ml) sour cream

• ½ cup (120ml) caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)

For the Topping:

• 6 Twix bars, chopped

• Extra caramel sauce for drizzling

• Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

2. In a bowl, mix the shortbread crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined.

3. Press 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner. Use a small glass or spoon to press firmly.

4. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth (about 2 minutes).

2. Add the vanilla extract, eggs (one at a time), and sour cream, mixing well after each addition.

3. Gently fold in the caramel sauce until just combined—don’t overmix.

4. Pour the filling over the crusts, filling each liner ¾ full.

Step 3: Bake & Cool

1. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers are slightly jiggly.

2. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecakes cool inside for 10 minutes.

3. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).

Step 4: Add Toppings

1. Once chilled, drizzle each cheesecake with extra caramel sauce.

2. Top with chopped Twix bars and a dollop of whipped cream (if desired).
