Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
• 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped

For Topping (Optional):

• Chocolate sauce for drizzling
• Additional mini peanut butter cups

Instructions

1. Make the Crust

In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

3. Fold in Whipped Cream

Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated, maintaining its light and airy texture.

4. Add Peanut Butter Cups

Fold in the chopped mini peanut butter cups, evenly distributing them throughout the filling.

5. Assemble & Chill

Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.

6. Garnish & Serve

Once set, remove from the springform pan. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and top with extra mini peanut butter cups before slicing and serving.

Recipe Notes

• For a firmer texture, freeze the cheesecake for 1-2 hours before serving.
