- ½ cup heavy cream very cold
- 24 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¾ cup sour cream full fat

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips coarsely chopped
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream optional topping
- Reese’s peanut butter cups coarsely chopped
- chopped peanuts chopped
- peanut butter drizzle heat in microwave on medium heat in 15 seconds increments until thin enough to drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- To make the crust, crush the Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Mix in the melted butter until combined.
- Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
- For the filling, whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar, creamy peanut butter, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour the filling into the cooled Oreo crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- For the ganache, heat the heavy whipping cream in a saucepan until just simmering, then pour it over the chopped chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes before stirring until smooth.
- Once the cheesecake is set, pour the chocolate ganache over the top and let it drip down the sides.
- Top with chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped peanuts, and a peanut butter drizzle if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for a smooth filling. For the ganache, allow it to cool slightly before pouring over the cheesecake.
