No-Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake

Created by BusyMiz on December 12, 2015

FOR THE CRUST
2 cups crushed Oreo sandwich Cookies (finely crushed, do this in a food processor)
1/4 cup melted butter
FOR THE FILLING
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
3/4 cup peanut butter (creamy)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 tub (8 ounces) Cool Whip frozen topping (thawed)
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (the regular size cups, about 10)
FOR THE GARNISH
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (about 6-8 peanut butter cups or use the minis, tip- they are easier to slice when partially frozen)
1/4 cup peanut butter (optional)
1/4 cup chocolate ice cream topping

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.
