Pink M&M Snickers Cheesecake (Print Version)

Velvety chocolate-chunk cheesecake with a fun pink color, topped with M&Ms and Snickers for extra delight.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs or finely crushed Oreos
02 - 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

→ Filling

03 - 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
04 - 1 cup powdered sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
07 - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
08 - 1 cup Snickers bars, chopped
09 - Pink food coloring, gel or liquid

→ Toppings

10 - Whipped cream, for topping
11 - Chopped Snickers bars, optional for garnish
12 - M&Ms, optional for decoration

# Steps:

01 - Crush graham crackers or Oreos into fine crumbs with a food processor or by sealing in a sturdy bag and crushing with a rolling pin. In a bowl, combine crumbs with melted butter. Press mixture evenly into the base of a springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
02 - Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the cooled, melted chocolate, blending until fully incorporated. Gently fold in chopped Snickers bars.
04 - Transfer a portion of the filling to a small bowl and mix with a few drops of pink food coloring. Gradually blend the colored portion back into the main filling to achieve a uniform pink hue.
05 - Whip heavy cream in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the pink filling, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
06 - Pour the pink filling onto the prepared crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or until fully set.
07 - Once set, release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with whipped cream, additional chopped Snickers bars, and M&Ms as desired. Slice and serve chilled.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling without lumps.
