✨ Ingredients:

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

24 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

For the Topping:

1 cup whipped cream

1/2 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

Chocolate sauce, for drizzling

✨ Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating until fluffy. Add vanilla extract and peanut butter, mixing until well incorporated.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
  5. Combine & Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
  6. Cool Down: Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour.
  7. Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
  8. Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream, sprinkle with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
