These little Twix Caramel mini cheesecakes are the easiest cheesecakes ever. You don’t need a water bath, long list of ingredients or even much time. They are super easy to whip together and the majority of the time is actually just spent in the fridge!
A while back we found a recipe for mini snickers cheesecakes and we’ve been obsessed ever since. These No-Bake Mini Cheesecakes with Raspberry Sauce kind of started the obsession for us and for our readers as no matter what time of year it is they tend to go crazy on our site. Plus, hooray for a no-bake cheesecake recipe!
When we decided to make a new mini cheesecakes recipe we knew we had to make it easy regardless of if it ended up no-bake or not and I think this one totally works.
How Many Graham Crackers Make a Cup of Crumbs?
When you make a graham cracker crust it’s always a little annoying to figure out how many grahams you need to crush. It’s around a cup per package of graham crackers, or 8 crackers. You are welcome.
Can You Freeze Cheesecake?
Heck yes you can freeze cheese! Big or small, plain or flavored, any cheesecake holds up quite well in the freezer. A cream sauce goes a little differently, but cheesecake is nice and dense so the freezer wont break it up at all.
How to Freeze Cheesecake
So let’s break it down, here’s how to freeze cheesecake, start out by freezing the entire cheesecake on a baking pan. Once it’s frozen solid, remove it from the freezer and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. We tend to do both because I don’t like the ice crystals to form on the cheesecake top as defrosting it will make the top wet. Next, place the entire cheesecake, or in this case the mini cheesecakes in a freezer bag, press the air out, seal it and place it back in the freezer.
How Long is Cheesecake Good for in the Fridge and Freezer?
Homemade cheesecake lasts for 5-7 days stored with plastic wrap over it to prevent drying for 5-7 days. In the freezer, cheesecake is actually good for 7-8 months! Can you believe that? Doesn’t make you feel as bad about making Mini Twix Caramel Cheesecakes for dessert this week, does it?

Creamy cheesecakes swirled with caramel and dotted with nuggets of Twix candy bars, these Mini Twix Caramel Cheesecakes are an easy cheesecake recipe!
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 4 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- 1 1/2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs, about 1 1/2 Packages
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
For the Cheesecakes
- 2 Packages Cream Cheese, 8 oz each, softened
- 1/3 Cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 Cup Mini Twix, halved, divided * see note
- 1/4 Cup Caramel Sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350.
In a bowl, add the butter, graham cracker crumbs and sugar, stirring to combine. Press cupcake wrappers into the holes of a muffin tin and fill each one evenly with the graham crackers. Bake for 5 minutes and remove to cool.
4 Tablespoons Melted Butter, 1 1/2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs, 1 teaspoon Sugar
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat again.
2 Packages Cream Cheese, 1/3 Cup Sugar, 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Next, add one egg and beat on low smooth until just incorporated. Add the next egg and repeat.
2 Large Eggs
Gently fold 1/2 Cup of twix into the batter and spoon evenly between the cupcake liners. Drizzle a little caramel over each top and using a toothpick, swirl it carefully in. Sprinkle however many remaining twix as you'd like over each top.
1 Cup Mini Twix, 1/4 Cup Caramel Sauce
Bake for 15-16 minutes and then remove to cool. Once the cheesecakes have cooled for a bit, place in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
Enjoy!
Notes
The best Twix to buy, but not necessary are the mini unwrapped Twix. You merely need to half them and no unwrapping at all!
May be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
