Step by Step Method
FOR THE CRUST
Step 1
Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl and pour melted butter over Oreo crumbs. Stir to combine until all crumbs are moistened.
Step 2
Press into a 9” spring form pan using a spoon or measuring cup to compress crust. Set aside.
FOR THE FILLING
Step 3
Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy for 2-3 minutes. Add peanut butter spread and continue to beat until well mixed.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream, increase mixing speed to medium-high and whip for 2-3 minutes to add air into the batter.
Step 5
Once all ingredients are mixed together, add Cool Whip and beat on low speed, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a spatula and mix together.
Step 6
Chop Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups into small pieces and drop into batter. Stir to combine. Empty filling into prepared pie crust.
Step 7
Chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours (if time allows). Serve chilled.
FOR THE GARNISH
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped Peanut Butter Cups over the top of the cheesecake.
Step 9
Melt peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl for 45-60 seconds. Stir until smooth. If not completely melted, return to the microwave in 15 second increments until melted. Drizzle over top of cheesecake with a spoon. Drizzle the ice cream topping over cheesecake. Refrigerate 4 hours or more.
