Mouth-watering Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup creamy peanut butter
15-20 Reese's peanut butter cups, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
Caramel sauce for drizzling
Whipped cream for topping
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Prepare the crust by mixing the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Then, stir in the peanut butter until fully combined.
Gently fold in the chopped Reese's peanut butter cups.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before transferring to the fridge. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Prepare the topping: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
Once the cheesecake has chilled, drizzle the chocolate and peanut butter sauce over the top. Add a drizzle of caramel sauce and top with whipped cream.
Serve and enjoy this decadent dessert filled with peanut butter goodness!
