Time 7h35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

30 chocolate sandwich cookies
6 tablespoons butter, melted
Dash of salt
32 oz cream cheese, softened
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
12 oz Reese's Peanut Butter miniature cups, unwrapped and roughly chopped
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (8 oz) package Reese's Minis

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Put the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and process until they form fine crumbs. Add in the butter and salt and process to combine. Press the mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then set aside to cool. Wrap aluminum foil around the sides and the bottom of the springform pan.
  • Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl in between each addition. Add in the brown sugar, peanut butter, cream and vanilla; beat until combined. Gently fold in the chopped up Reese's Miniatures. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust.
  • Place the pan inside a larger pan and carefully add about 1 inch of hot water in the larger pan. Bake the cheesecake until it is just set, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and allow the temperature to come down gently for about an hour. Remove from the oven, cool completely, then refrigerate until completely cool.
  • To make the chocolate topping, heat the cream until simmering, just before boiling. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Allow the mixture to sit for a couple minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour over the top of the cheesecake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle the Reese's minis over the top of the cheesecake.

Time 12h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 9-ounce package chocolate wafer cookies
1/4 cup sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
14 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ®
Four 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup hot fudge sauce, warmed, plus more for serving
15 Miniature Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ®
1 cup Reese's Pieces ®
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • For the crust: Pulse the cookies and sugar in a food processor to fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture holds together when squeezed. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the side of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake until crisp and set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Cover the crust with the peanut butter cups. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with a large piece of foil and put it in a large roasting pan.
  • For the filling: Beat the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl for 1 minute. Add the sour cream and beat until just combined. Mix in the eggs by hand, one at time. Mix in the vanilla by hand until just combined. (Take care not to overmix, or the cheesecake will puff up and crack.)
  • Put the chocolate chips and peanut butter in 2 separate large microwave-safe bowls. Microwave each in 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the chips and peanut butter are smooth and pourable, about 2 minutes.
  • Ladle 2 cups of the cheesecake batter into the bowl with the chocolate and fold until combined. Fold the remaining cheesecake batter into the bowl with the peanut butter until combined.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon and drop alternating scoopfuls of the batter onto the crust. Drag a long wooden skewer through the batter, making sure the skewer reaches the bottom, to marble the colors in a tie-dye effect. Add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come about halfway up the side of the springform pan.
  • Bake until the outside of the cake is set, but the center is still slightly loose, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for another hour. Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edge and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the pan once more, unmold the cheesecake and transfer to a serving plate or cake stand. Smooth the edges with the knife. Drizzle the hot fudge sauce around the edge of the cake, letting it drip slightly over the sides. Make a decorative ring around the edge of the cheesecake with the miniature peanut butter cups, overlapping them slightly. Make another ring on the inside of the peanut butter cups with the Reese's Pieces. Slice and serve cold with whipped cream and more hot fudge sauce.
