1

Crush the Twinkies

Start by taking 10 Twinkies and coarsely crushing them. You can use a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and gently pound on them with a rolling pin.

2

Prepare the Crust

In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Twinkies with 1/4 cup melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a crust.

3

Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a separate mixing bowl, beat together 24 oz cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4

Fold in the Twinkies

Gently fold in the remaining crushed Twinkies into the cheesecake filling. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

5

Bake and Chill

Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust. Bake at 325°F for about 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Let it cool completely and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.

6

Garnish and Serve

Once chilled, remove the sides of the springform pan. Top the cheesecake with whipped cream and a few extra crushed Twinkies for a decorative touch. Slice and serve this heavenly Twinkie Cheesecake to your lucky guests!
