Description

A creamy, delightful no bake cheesecake infused with peanut butter and topped with chocolate and Reese’s miniatures.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 chocolate graham crackers full sheets, 2 sleeves
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅔ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup sour cream (full fat is best)
  • 16 ounces whipped topping (thawed)
  • 8 tablespoons hot fudge
  • 10 ounces miniature Reese’s peanut butter cups (quartered, about 1 cup)

Instructions

  1. Place chocolate graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until they are fine crumbs. Add in sugar and pulse until combined.
  2. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the peanut butter until the mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers.
  3. Press mixture into a 9-inch springform pan making sure the crust goes up a little bit on the sides as well.
  4. Cover the crust with plastic wrap and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. Beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until fully combined, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Beat in the creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Add in the sour cream and whipped topping and beat until combined. The mixture should be light and creamy.
  8. Remove the crust from the freezer and evenly spread the filling in the springform pan up to about ¼ inch from the top of the pan.
  9. Sprinkle the top of the cheesecake with cut up Reese’s miniatures in an even layer.
  10. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. Serve cheesecake chilled.

Notes

  • If using whipped cream instead of whipped topping, it should be folded into the mixture, not beaten in.
