For the crust

  • 1.5 cups Oreo cookie crumbs Finely crushed
  • 0.25 cups butter, melted Unsalted

For the filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Smooth consistency
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened At room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Sifted, for smooth mixing
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Chilled
  • 0.5 cups Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped For mix-in and garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Filling

  • In another bowl, beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the peanut butter mixture.
  • Stir in chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Assembly

  • Spread the filling over the crust and smooth out the top.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  • Remove from the springform pan and serve chilled.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. For a firmer cheesecake, let it set overnight in the refrigerator. Use an offset spatula to smooth out the top of the cheesecake easily.
