This Heath Bar cheesecake recipe takes classic cheesecake and kicks it up with Heath Bar pieces. Every bite has the creamy texture we love about cheesecake with the crunch of Heath toffee!

I love cheesecake, but after making it so many times over the years, I was looking for something different. I decided to take my classic cheesecake recipe and simply add crunchy, sweet Heath Bar pieces to it. Oh, it is so good!

Instructions
Although this is a from-scratch cheesecake, it's not that hard to make. This version doesn't require a water bath or any other hoops to jump through.
Step 1: Prep
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then, lightly grease the sides of a springform pan.
Step 2: Make the Crust






Mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a medium bowl. Then, add the crumb mixture to the bottom of the prepared pan, pressing and smoothing the mixture into a single layer with a flat-bottomed measuring cup. Then, line the crust with the chopped Heath Bars.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling






Beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer on high until fluffy in large bowl. Then, add the sugar and vanilla and beat again. On medium speed, lightly beat in the eggs one at a time until combined and then mix thoroughly with a spatula.
Step 4: Fill the Pan


Pour about half of the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan, then top it with the remaining chopped Heath Bars that you divided. Pour the remaining batter over the Heath Bars.
Step 5: Bake


Bake the cheesecake for about 40 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly but not wet.
Step 6: Chill
Let the cheesecake come to room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 7: Top and Serve



When ready to serve, place toffee bits on top of the cheesecake and caramel drizzle or any and all of the toppings listed in the ingredient section below.
Cut to your desired slice size, and enjoy!
Hint: To ensure a clean edge on your english toffee cheesecake, run a knife along the edge of the pan before removing it.

You can also freeze cheesecake if you’d like to keep it longer. Cool it completely and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or put in a freezer bag.
- Do I have to use a springform pan to bake the cheesecake? Yes. Springform pans are designed to release the cheesecake more easily without damaging it. The springform pan has higher sides then a typical cake pan so this allows for the sides of your cheesecake to also be higher.
