Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
For the Filling:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup Reese's Pieces candy
For the Topping:
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup Reese's Pieces candy
- ½ cup assorted mini chocolate candies
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well combined. Add the mini chocolate chips and Reese's Pieces, folding them in carefully. Once combined, pour the filling over the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
3. Add the Topping
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake filling. For an extra burst of flavor and crunch, sprinkle mini chocolate chips, Reese's Pieces candy, and assorted mini chocolate candies over the whipped cream. Drizzle chocolate syrup generously on top for a final touch.
4. Chill and Serve
Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and let it set for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for best results. Once the cheesecake is firm, remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled for a creamy, decadent dessert everyone will love!
Enjoy!
