It doesn’t get much better than a candy bar coated in peanuts and caramel and dunked in chocolate. I mean, wow. Unless, that is, you turn it into an Ice Cream Snickers Bar. Like, whoa. As you might’ve guessed, it was only a matter of time before I smooshed together my love for Snickers and cheesecake. The results? Totally drool-worthy, and it all happens with just 10 simple ingredients. This cheesecake begins with my go-to date-walnut crust. Dates, walnuts, and sea salt whirled together to create a tender, naturally sweetened base for our cheesecake. While the crust sets in the freezer, it’s time to move on to the 1-ingredient date caramel. ONE INGREDIENT, people. It’s magic. Simply add dates into a food processor and thin with a little hot water. Voila – we have a caramel ribbon ready to swirl through our cheesecake. Next comes roasted salted peanuts for that salty-sweet flavor contrast and added crunch. Swoon. The hard part is waiting for it all to set in the freezer for about 4-6 hours. But it’s so worth the wait. Patience, my friend. I think you guys are going to LOVE this cheesecake!
