Once you see how easy these chocolate bars are to make and how sweet they taste you will be making them every week. You will need some heavy cream in a jar and if you don’t have it you can substitute it with whole milk, however, keep in mind it’s going to be an icicle rather than a creamsicle and will still be delicious. The fat and the heavy cream will give your bars better textures and adds more flavors.

FAQ:
Can I use a different crust for this cheesecake? Yes! You can use any crushed cookies, such as Oreos, digestive biscuits, or vanilla wafers, for the crust.

Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time? Absolutely! This cheesecake is perfect for making in advance. Just make sure it chills in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.

How do I know when my cheesecake is done? The edges should be set and the center should have a slight jiggle when you shake the pan. It will firm up more as it cools and chills in the refrigerator.

Is it necessary to use sour cream in the filling? Sour cream adds a rich, creamy texture and a slight tang to the cheesecake. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute it with plain Greek yogurt.
