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.

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 4h50m

Yield 1 cheesecake

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages low-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1 graham cracker crust (ready to go type)
6 Reese's Peanut Butter cups

Steps:

  • Mix cream cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until well blended.
  • Add eggs and beat until mixed.
  • Pour into crust.
  • Chop candy bars and sprinkle over filling.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until center is almost set.
  • Cool.
  • Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
  • Tip: This can also be made as a Snickers cheesecake by chopping three bars instead of using the Reese's.

Tips:

  • Use a springform pan for easy release of the cheesecake.
  • Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before mixing. This will help them blend smoothly and avoid lumps.
  • Do not overmix the cheesecake batter. Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.
  • When making the ganache, use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the taste of the ganache.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Just be sure to heat it in short intervals, stirring in between, to avoid burning the chocolate.
  • To make the peanut butter mousse, be sure to use heavy cream that is at least 35% fat. This will help the mousse to whip up properly.

Conclusion:

This Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's rich, creamy, and packed with peanut butter flavor. The ganache and peanut butter mousse add an extra layer of decadence that will make everyone smile.
