🍩 Peanut Butter Cheesecake Donut Sandwiches 🥜
Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup crushed Reese’s cups (plus extra for garnish)
For Assembly:
4 chocolate-glazed donuts
½ cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky, depending on your preference)
For the Peanut Butter Drizzle:
¼ cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons milk (adjust to achieve desired consistency)
Instructions
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the crushed Reese’s cups. Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up slightly.
Prepare the Donuts: Slice each chocolate-glazed donut horizontally to create a top and bottom half. Spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter on the bottom half of each donut.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Spoon or pipe the chilled cheesecake filling onto the peanut butter layer, spreading it evenly to the edges. Place the top half of the donut back on to complete the sandwich.
Make the Peanut Butter Drizzle: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and milk. Microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and pourable. Adjust the milk if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Finish and Serve: Drizzle the warm peanut butter sauce generously over the assembled donut sandwiches. Sprinkle additional crushed Reese’s cups on top for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy this rich, indulgent treat!
