- 500g cream cheese, room temperature
- 100g thick ready-made caramel
- 120g icing sugar

- Equipment:
- 8″ springform tin

Instructions:
1) Prepare the Base:
Crush the mini Twix fingers and shortbread biscuits in a food processor.
Add the melted butter and pulse until combined.
Press the mixture into the base of the springform tin and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2) Make the Cheesecake Batter:
Beat the cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth.
Beat in the caramel until well combined.
Whip the double cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
3) Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared base.
Create a water bath by placing the springform tin in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water to come about halfway up the sides of the tin.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour or until set.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool slowly.
Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
4) Make the Topping:
Place the caramel, chocolate, and double cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Let the topping cool slightly before pouring over the chilled cheesecake.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use salted caramel in both the cheesecake batter and the topping.
- If you don’t have mini Twix fingers, you can use regular-sized Twix bars or another chocolate cookie.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
