Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Small saucepan
  • Whisk or spoon for stirring

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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.
