This decadent dessert is like having a great conversation on a quiet afternoon — comforting but full of surprises! Whether you're impressing guests or indulging in a personal treat, this Kit-Kat Cheesecake serves up creamy richness with an irresistible crunch.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of crushed Kit-Kat bars evenly over the prepared crust.
Beat 24 oz of cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and beat until fully combined.
Add 3 eggs one at a time, beating slowly to incorporate after each addition. Be careful not to overmix past this point.
Gently fold in 1 cup of sour cream until just blended.
Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust and Kit-Kat layer in the pan.
Sprinkle another 1/2 cup of crushed Kit-Kat bars over the filling, then pour the remaining cheesecake mixture on top.
Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour.
Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, for best results.
Before serving, you can optionally garnish with additional chopped Kit-Kat bars for an extra touch of chocolatey flair.
