My roommate Dave brought home from work a case of butterfinger candy bars. A case. For those unschooled on confectionery debauchery thats 36 full-sized butterfingers. Because my mind tends to just accept these things and roll with them, the first thing I thought of would be a Butterfinger Cheese Cake.
There are a couple considerations when building this idea, most of which have been explored by ice cream makers to varying degrees, what should the base be made out of? I feel gram cracker would be an unwelcome addition in this case. I feel like proportionally the best bet would be Chocolate Cookie crumbs, the darker the better to mimic the chocolate shell of the candy bar. For the filling I feel like doing 2 layers to add some visual excitement when its cut into. Possibly to do a traditional vanilla cheesecake filling with bits of butter finger mixed in, layered with a sweet peanut butter mousse on top to lighten the cake. For the top I was thinking of crumbled butterfinger bars, I could do something more elaborate but it has to be light to be supported by the mousse. going to have to play around more with that idea.
Recipe and pictures to follow if successful.
