🥜 Peanut Butter Cheesecake Donut Sandwiches 🍩
Ingredients
For the Sandwiches:
4 chocolate glazed donuts
½ cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
8 oz (225g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup (80g) crushed Reese’s peanut butter cups
For the Peanut Butter Drizzle:
¼ cup (65g) peanut butter
2 tbsp (30ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Gently fold in the crushed Reese’s cups. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
Prep the Donuts: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each donut horizontally into two even rounds.
Layer the Bottoms: Spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter onto the cut side of each bottom donut half.
Add the Filling: Spoon or pipe the chilled cheesecake mixture over the peanut butter layer, leaving a small border to prevent overflow.
Close the Sandwiches: Gently press the top donut halves back into place to form complete sandwiches.
Prepare the Drizzle: In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter and milk together in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and pourable.
Finish & Serve: Drizzle the warm peanut butter mixture over the assembled donuts. Sprinkle with additional crushed Reese’s cups for texture and visual appeal. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes for a firmer bite.
