Heath Cheesecake
This cheesecake is loaded with chunks of toffee. Caramel and Hot Fudge is drizzled across the top to simulate the Heath Toffee candy bar.
Here in the US we have chocolate coated toffee candy bars called Heath Bars.
These little bars of heaven are the main ingredient in this cheesecake.
You don’t need a springform pan to prepare this cheesecake but I suggest you do. You will experience a taller cheesecake.
And BONUS!! The oreo crust will hug your slice even higher!
Yes, you heard that right.
The crust on this cheesecake is made from crushed oreos. The ones that have a chocolate outer side and a creamy filling inside.
You can find my easy no bake recipe at Oreo Cookie Crust. It is fine for you to bake it with the cheesecake.
And you can substitute the flavor of the cookie crust to work with any recipe you use it in.
You will want to make this Heath Cheesecake often. Your family will ask for it at every special occasion.
These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:
- 2 pkg 8 oz. each PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ tsp Vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 4 bars chocolate-covered toffee bars (1.4 oz. each), chopped, divided
- 6 oz Ready to use ocrust
- 4 oz slivered almonds or to taste (optional)
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until blended. Add eggs; mix just until blended.
- Stir in the chopped toffee bars.
- Pour into crust; sprinkle with slivered almonds if desired.
- Bake 35 to 40 min. or until center is almost set.
- Cool completely. Refrigerate 3 hours.
We love toffee in my home but I rarely buy it.
Unless you get the soft toffee you can chew it forever and even pull off crowns!
The Heath Candy Bars though are an exception.
That toffee goodness has a delicious chocolate coating that holds all the toffee together.
You can also use a Skor candy bar insteadl
Since cheesecake travels so well I like to take it for a pot luck.
It has also appeared on dessert table for family dinners, church bake sales, parties and girls day card games.
When the sauces are heated you get the combination of all three flavors for a delicious treat! An Oreo crust holds the cheesecake in a sweet embrace. What more do you need?

Do I need to do a water bath for this one? If so does the cook
Time change?
No water bath is needed. It isn’t dense enough to worry about cracking. Using a ready made crust you can also use a pie pan. I like to use a deep dish one or a springform pan as I like my cheesecakes tall. But no special type is needed. The time stays the same. The key is letting it refrigerate long enough to set up firmly. Thanks for asking! Enjoy!
Oh my, just had my dinner and could just eat a slice of this. Looks delicious 🙂

I am so glad to here PC loves cheesecake. I am afraid though, like me, it could be a while before you try it. Most of my cheesecakes use up 25% of your daily calories. I hope soon you will be able to try it! Enjoy your week.
