    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!

    Heath Bar Cheesecake Recipe

    This was inspired by another cheesecake variation on this site and makes a great addition to your potluck recipe collection.

    Ingredients

    All of the ingredients needed to make a heath bar cheesecake.

    As with most cheesecake recipes, this one only requires a few simple ingredients that you can find easily at your local grocery store.

    For the Crust

    • Graham cracker crumbs
    • Salted butter, melted

    For the Cheesecake Filling

    • Cream cheese, softened
    • Granulated sugar
    • Vanilla extract
    • Eggs, room temperature
    • Heath Bars, roughly chopped and dividied

    For the Topping

    • Heath Bar, chopped a ½ inch in size
    • Mini Heath Bars
    • Caramel sauce
    • Chocolate sauce
    • Toffee bits
    • Whipped cream

    See the recipe card at the end of the post for exact quantities.

    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

    Graham cracker crumbs and melted butter inside a medium mixing bowl.
    Ingredients are mixed well.
    Crumb mixture placed at the bottom of a prepared pan. The crumbs are flattened using a measuring cup.

    Smooth, flattened crumb mixture at the bottom of a pan.
    Chopped health bars added to the top of the crumb mixture inside the pan.

    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

    Cream cheese inside a bowl.
    Cream cheese whipped until fluffy inside a large bowl.
    Sugar and vanilla added to the fluffy cream cheese inside the large bowl.
    Ingredients are beat until smooth.
    Two eggs added to the cream mixture.
    Ingredients mixed until smooth.

    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

    The cheesecake filling has been poured onto the pan.
    More chopped health bars are added on top of the cheesecake filling. More filling is poured onto 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

    The chopped health bars are now hidden and only the cheesecake filling is seen.
    The cake has been baked in the oven and is resting on a wire rack on the table.

    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

    Cake topped with toffee bits.

    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.

    Tips

    As cheesecake recipes go, this is an incredibly simple one. That being said, I do have some tips to ensure you make it the best that it can possibly be.

    • It's important to let the cheesecake chill overnight for the best flavor and texture.
    • Really beat the cream cheese to get it thoroughly light and fluffy for the best cheesecake texture.

    Notes

    • What is the best way to store cheesecake? Your freshly baked cheesecake will keep for around 1 week in the fridge. Make sure to cover the cheesecake loosely with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. 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.
