Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Twix Cheesecake
  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (355ºF). Mix together the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Blend in the room-temperature butter until crumbly. Press mixture into the bottom of a springform pan, poke holes with a fork, and bake for 18 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. Lower the oven temperature to 160ºC (325ºF). Cream together the room-temperature cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix sour cream with cornstarch, then add to cream cheese mixture along with vanilla extract. Gradually add eggs, mixing well after each addition. Fold in chopped Twix bars and pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  3. Prepare a larger baking pan with boiling water for a water bath. Set the cheesecake springform pan in it. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven, cool inside with the door ajar for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt the granulated sugar with corn syrup over medium heat until golden. Heat heavy cream until warm, then slowly pour into the sugar mixture while stirring to create a smooth caramel. Stir in cold butter and a pinch of salt until glossy.
  5. Once the Twix Cheesecake has chilled, remove from the springform pan. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Sprinkle additional chopped Twix bars on top. Chill briefly before slicing and serving.
