How to Make Snickers Strawberry Cheesecake

This recipe comes together in three simple layers: crust, filling, and toppings. Here’s the process broken down into easy steps.

Make the Crust

Start by mixing graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until it looks like wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan, creating an even base. Bake briefly or chill, depending on your preference.

Tip: Press the crust firmly with the bottom of a glass for a clean, even layer.

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, then mix in the eggs one at a time. Fold in sour cream for added creaminess.

Once smooth, gently stir in the diced strawberries and chopped Snickers. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top.

Tip: Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles before baking.

Bake and Cool

Bake until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle. Let it cool at room temperature, then chill for several hours (or overnight) to set completely.

Tip: Place the pan in a water bath to prevent cracks and keep the texture velvety.

Add Toppings

Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce over the top. Add whipped cream, extra strawberries, and Snickers chunks for garnish.

Tip: Chill the cheesecake before slicing for cleaner cuts.

No-Bake Snickers Strawberry Cheesecake Option

Short on time? This dessert also works beautifully as a no-bake version—no oven required.

Why Choose No-Bake?

It’s faster, summer-friendly, and perfect for when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen. The texture is slightly softer but just as rich and flavorful.

Simple Swap

Skip the eggs and baking step. Use softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and sour cream as your base. Fold in the strawberries and chopped Snickers, then spread over the prepared crust.

Let it chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.

Bonus Tip

Add a tablespoon of gelatin (dissolved in warm water) if you want a firmer hold for slicing.
