The best part about slow cooker cheesecake, is that it’s comes out ultra creamy. The cake is actually steaming to cook so it retains all the moisture and that makes it so smooth and delicious. The first time I made cheesecake in the slow cooker, I was sure it was going to be a major bust, but I was proved wrong, and it was an amazingly delicious dessert! If you like cheesecake as much as I do, you'll love this Instant Pot Peanut Butter Cheesecake or Slow Cooker Cranberry Cheesecake as well!

It's easy to make cheesecake in the slow cooker, here's how:

How to make Slow Cooker Butterfinger Cheesecake:

**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**

  • Make the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add cream cheese, vanilla, and 1⁄2 cup sugar, salt and flour; using the paddle attachment beat on medium until completely combined and no lumps. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until mixed. Add sour cream and beat for 30 seconds; scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula; beat 15 additional seconds. Add the 6 chopped Butterfinger bars, and beat 20 seconds. Set mixture aside.
  • Make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, butter and 1 TBS sugar, with a fork; combine. Pour crumbs into the bottom of the spring form pan and press down evenly to make the crust.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture on top of the crust, into the spring form pan.

  • Add 1 inch of water to the large slow cooker (5, 6, or 7 quart slow cooker). Place a wire rack into the bottom (I used 3 rings from Mason jar lids to set it on), and then place the filled spring form pan on top of rack.
  • Lay 3 layers of paper towels across the top of the slow cooker (hold tight so they don’t fall and touch the cheesecake), then place the lid on top.
  • Cook on high for 2 hours (do not remove the lid at all during this time), turn off, remove lid and paper towels, and let stand for 1-2 hours or until slow cooker is cool.
  • Place cheesecake in pan into the fridge and let set for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Using a non-serrated long knife, run it between the cake and the pan sides, then release the lock and pop to cake out on the base. Using the remaining 3 fun size Butterfingers, chop and sprinkle over the top of the cake. Drizzle chocolate sauce over the top. Slice and serve!

    Can you post WW points? I’m afraid I’d use my 23 for the day on slice of this scrumptious cheesecake.

      Unfortunately I don't have the WW points but I am sure you can calculate them based off the ingredients etc? It is definitely NOT healthy!
