Makes: 10 servings
Ingredients
Chocolate Crust
- 18 chocolate graham cracker sheets (from about 2 sleeves)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp coffee grounds
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake
- 16 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 8 oz. sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups chopped Milky Way Midnight Bars (from 4 full-size bars), plus more for topping
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
Instructions
Chocolate Crust
- Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and then cover in parchment paper.
- Place graham crackers in a food processor and process until fine crumbs are formed (if you don't have a food processor, you can simply put graham crackers in a bag and crush them with a mallet).
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with sugar, coffee, and melted butter and stir until thoroughly combined. Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Cheesecake
- Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, combine cream cheese and sugar and beat on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, keeping the mixer on low-speed and making sure the eggs are well-incorporated.
- Add condensed milk, heavy cream, vanilla, flour, and salt and mix until just combined.
- Stir Milky Way pieces into the batter and pour the batter in the pan.
- Bake for about 45 minutes until the cheesecake is turning light golden brown and should jiggle just slightly when you shake the pan.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for an hour. Remove to fridge and let chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Melt chocolate chips or chocolate bar in a double broiler or in the microwave. Once cheesecake is chilled, drizzle with melted chocolate and top with additional chopped Milky Way Midnight bars.
