Indulge in the rich and creamy decadence of this Peanut Butter Cheesecake. Featuring a luscious peanut butter filling on a crunchy OREO crust, topped with a luxurious chocolate ganache, this dessert is a showstopper for any occasion.

Ingredients

OREO Crust:

  • 45 Oreos
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Peanut Butter Filling:

  • ½ cup heavy cream, very cold
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup sour cream, full fat, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, coarsely chopped
  • ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream, optional topping

Optional Toppings:

  • Reese’s peanut butter cups, coarsely chopped
  • Chopped peanuts
  • Peanut butter drizzle (heat in microwave on medium heat in 15-second increments until thin enough to drizzle)

Instructions

  1. OREO Crust: Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. Mix in melted butter and press into a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Peanut Butter Filling: Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Beat cream cheese, add sugar, peanut butter, sour cream, and vanilla. Fold in whipped cream, pour into crust, and refrigerate.
  3. Ganache Topping: Melt chocolate with heated cream, stir until smooth. Pour over chilled cheesecake and refrigerate.
  4. To Serve: Garnish with toppings, remove springform pan, slice, and serve!

Notes

  • Prefer a graham cracker crust? Use 6 tbsp melted butter, 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Press into a 9-inch pie pan and refrigerate.
