Instructions:
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Combine the graham crackers, chopped hazelnuts, melted butter, and cocoa powder in a mixing bowl.
- Step 2: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for about 10 minutes. Let it cool.
- Step 3: Chop the Snickers bars into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Step 4: Beat together the mascarpone cheese and cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the brown sugar.
- Step 5: Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating on low speed until just combined.
- Step 6: Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cheese mixture.
- Step 7: Fold in the chopped Snickers and caramel into the cheesecake filling.
- Step 8: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Step 9: Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 50-60 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly. Cool gradually in the oven.
- Step 10: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese and mascarpone are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
- Do not overmix after adding eggs to avoid cracks.
- Use a hot, wet knife for neater slices.
- Let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
