No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake
- for the pan
- 1 package chocolate wafer cookies (we used Nabiscos)
- 1/2 c. unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 package cream cheese
- 1 c. heavy cream
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 17 peanut butter cups (we used Reese's)
- 2 oz. Reese's pieces
- 3 tbsp. granulated sugar
- Lightly coat a 9-inch spring form cake pan with cooking spray.
- In a food processor, pulse the chocolate wafers to form fine crumbs.
- Add the melted butter and pulse to combine.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of the pan and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla, mixing just to incorporate.
- Increase the speed to high and beat until thick and stiff, about 2 minutes.
- Arrange the peanut butter cups on the bottom of the prepared crust, breaking them to fit, as necessary, to fill any large gaps.
- Spread the cheesecake filling over the top of the peanut butter cups and sprinkle with Reeses pieces.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
