Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
8 fun-size Milky Way bars (about 4.5 oz), chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 fun-size Milky Way bars, chopped (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with foil.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla and sour cream until just combined. Fold in chopped Milky Way bars.
Pour filling over crust. Place springform pan in a larger roasting pan and fill with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, until center is almost set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecake cool in oven for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
For ganache: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate in a bowl; let stand 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Pour ganache over chilled cheesecake, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with remaining chopped Milky Way bars. Refrigerate until ganache sets, about 30 minutes.

Tips

For cleaner slices, dip a knife in hot water and wipe dry before each cut.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
