Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: ½ cup snickerdoodle cookie; ½ cup pecans; ⅓ cup butter, melted; 8 ounces soft cream cheese; ¼ teaspoon cinnamon; 2 eggs, beaten; ½ teaspoon vanilla; 1 milk chocolate candy bar; 1 pint sour cream; 5 tablespoons sugar; ½ teaspoon vanilla; ½ cup semisweet chocolate chunk

Servings: persons

½ cup snickerdoodle cookie
½ cup pecans
⅓ cup butter, melted
8 ounces soft cream cheese
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, beaten
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 milk chocolate candy bar
1 pint sour cream
5 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
½ cup semisweet chocolate chunk

1
Preheat oven to 375.
2
Get a spring-form 8 or 9 pan.
3
In food processor blend cookies and pecans until soft crumb texture, add in a little less than 1/3 c melted butter.
4
Press into spring-form pan to create a crust; parchment paper can be helpful to prevent sticking.
5
If crust is too oily, blot oil off with paper towel, if too dry, add any left over butter.
6
Also you might not use all the crust mixture, that is ok.
7
Use hand mixer (preferably) or food processor to blend the first 4 ingredients/amounts of cream cheese, cinnamon, eggs,vanilla.
8
Pour over crust.
9
It may be liquidy if using food processor, that is ok but may add 5 min cooking time.
10
It will look thin and tart-like instead of a tall cake.
11
Place in oven and bake 20 min or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean (moist but clan).
12
WHILE COOKING use micro planer or grater to fine-grate the hazelnut-chocolate bar.
13
ALSO WORK ON TOP LAYER (SEE BELOW).
14
After 20 min/clean toothpick test, sprinkle chocolate over cake.
15
For top layer, hand-mix sour cream, second amount of sugar, vanilla.
16
When middle layer cake is done and chocolate covered, spoon on top the sour cream layer.
17
Place back in oven and cook 5-10 minutes- top layer cannot pass the toothpick test, but it should look a little set on top.
18
Cool overnight in refrigerator.
19
Melt chocolate chips and use a whisk to decorate the top of the cake with chocolate squiggles.
20
You may use all the chocolate, maybe not- it is to taste.
21
Place back in refrigerator until chocolate hardens, then serve!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
