- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 packages (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 15-20 units Reese's peanut butter cups, chopped reserve some for topping
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a medium bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until coated.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes; let cool.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; add sour cream and vanilla, mixing well.
Add eggs one at a time on low speed to avoid overmixing; stir in peanut butter and fold in chopped Reese’s cups.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
Bake for 55-65 minutes until the center is just set with a slight jiggle.
Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
Heat heavy cream in a saucepan and divide into two bowls; melt chocolate chips in one and peanut butter chips in the other.
Drizzle both sauces and caramel over the chilled cheesecake and top with whipped cream and reserved Reese’s pieces.
For a lighter crust, substitute chocolate cookie crumbs with graham cracker crumbs. To make it healthier, consider using sugar substitutes or a vegan cream cheese alternative. The cheesecake can be made ahead of time and is best after resting overnight. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
