- Spatula
Ingrédients
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Filling
- 2 cups cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter smooth
- 1 cup heavy cream whipped
- 1 cup chocolate chips melted
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups chopped, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until fully mixed. Press the crust mixture firmly into a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Add peanut butter and mix until fully combined.
- In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the filling and use a knife to create swirls for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and drizzle with additional chocolate if desired.
Notes
To prevent cracks, avoid overmixing and overbaking the filling. Always cool completely before refrigerating. For a dairy-free version, substitute coconut cream and vegan cream cheese.
