Butterfinger Cheesecake

"I found this one on razzledazzlerecipes.com my nephew asked me to make him a Butterfinger cheesecake for his 18th birthday and I was surprised to find no posted recipes here on zaar. Anyway this is what I turned up. Hope he likes it. Caution cheesecakes need about 8-10 hours to refrigeration so it's best to make the day before."

  1. We didn't care for this at all. I actually threw it out after two bites. There was a very strange after taste. I'm a huge butterfinger fan, so I was pretty sad about this one.
     
  2. I made this cheesecake for Thanksgiving to have something out of the ordinary. Everyone loved it. My father said that it was the best thing he had ever eaten.
     
  3. Hi Peyton&KaylansMama, I saw this recipe a couple days ago and I made it yesterday. The cheese cake is excellent good flavour the butterfinger chocolate bar is very delicate and the texture is very creamy. I baked it @ 275 for about 2 1/2 hrs. the cake performed beautifully rising around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center with a light golden brown colour. I personally would change the amount of chocolate added to the cake as a topping; I would add more chocolate and much less cream, as it did not setup as nicely as I thought it would. Then I would add about a cup of chopped pecans to the chocolate crumbs to make a crunchier base for the cheese cake. Otherwise a fun cheesecake to make and I will make again, maybe I will not buy as many Butterfinger chocolate bars next time! Thanks for posting. Oilpatchjo
