Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted

Filling Ingredients

  • 32 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
  2. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until set. Remove and allow to cool completely before adding the filling to ensure it holds firm.
  4. Mix the Filling: Using a mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and continue mixing.
  5. Add Heavy Cream: Gradually pour in the heavy cream while beating the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, creating a smooth cheesecake filling.
  6. Fold in Reese’s Cups: Gently fold chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups into the batter, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
  7. Assemble Cheesecake: Pour the prepared filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until fully set. For best results, chill overnight.

Notes

  • For an extra touch, garnish the cheesecake with additional mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups before serving to enhance presentation and flavor.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for the best smooth filling consistency.
  • Use a springform pan to easily release the cheesecake after chilling.
