Perfect for candy lovers, this cheesecake combines sweet, crunchy textures with smooth, rich flavors for an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 1/4 cups Oreo crumbs (about 20 Oreo cookies, crushed)
  • 4 tbsp salted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2–3 Butterfinger bars, chopped into small pieces (or mini Butterfingers)

For the Topping:

  • Additional chopped Butterfinger bars
  • Optional: chocolate syrup or caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Press and Bake the Crust: Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool while preparing the filling.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese for 3-4 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Mix in the flour thoroughly.
  4. Fold in Butterfinger Pieces: Gently fold the chopped Butterfinger bars into the cream cheese mixture ensuring even distribution.
  5. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled Oreo crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 55-60 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  7. Chill Thoroughly: Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
  8. Finish and Serve: Just before serving, top the cheesecake with additional chopped Butterfingers. Optionally, drizzle with chocolate syrup or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth and creamy filling without lumps.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly to avoid crumbling when slicing.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven to minimize cracking on the surface.
  • For best flavor and texture, chill overnight before serving.
  • Variations: Add a layer of chocolate ganache on top for a richer dessert.
