Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by crushing 200g of digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. In a bowl, mix with 100g of melted unsalted butter and press into the base of an 8-inch springform pan. Chill for 30 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 150g of sugar and 50ml of water over medium-high heat. Allow to boil for 7-10 minutes until light amber color, then add 100ml of whipping cream, 50g of butter, a pinch of salt, and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 400g of softened cream cheese with 100g of sifted powdered sugar and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the cooled caramel. In a separate bowl, whip 200ml of cold whipping cream until soft peaks form and fold into the cream cheese mixture with 100g of chopped Twix bars.
- Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight.
- Drizzle a generous amount of salted caramel sauce over the top once the cheesecake has set. Return to fridge for an additional 30 minutes.
- For ganache, heat 150ml of whipping cream until bubbling, then stir in 200g of finely chopped semisweet chocolate until melted and smooth. Pour over the caramel layer and spread evenly.
- Once ganache has set, carefully remove cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice with a hot, damp knife for clean cuts. Garnish with additional crushed Twix pieces or drizzles of caramel if desired.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Avoid stirring caramel to prevent crystallization. Refrigerate for best results and use a hot knife for neat cutting.
