No Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups have always been my favorite candy. I have a slight addiction to both peanut butter and chocolate. They are just perfect together. My Quick and Easy Peanut Butter Pie happens to be one of my favorite desserts. I make it quite frequently. But after making this No Bake Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake, I think I have a new favorite homemade dessert.

When we dine out and I manage to save room for dessert, I am always drawn to whichever peanut butter and chocolate dessert that happens to be on the menu. I think any dessert that contains both peanut and chocolate has a sure chance at being delish.

I noticed a peanut butter cheesecake on the menu at one of my favorite restaurants last week but I had not left any room for dessert.

The next day, I just could not forget about that darn dessert. So I decided to whip up this cheesecake right at home. I am always so nervous when making my own cheesecakes at home. Since this cheesecake requires no baking, I knew I could leave the anxiety behind. With just a few ingredients and little time, you too can make this decadent dessert.

This no bake cheesecake will feed a large crowd, it is massive. Massive in a good way I might add. The Oreo Cookie crust a perfect foundation. The creamy peanut butter combined with the cheesecake and chopped Reese’s miniatures candy makes for one over the top filling.

The ingredients needed for this awesome peanut butter cup cheesecake are super simple. You will need Oreo cookies for your crust, 3 packages of cream cheese, peanut butter, Reese’s miniature candy and a few other items you should have in your pantry.

Put cut Reese’s cups in freezer for 30 minutes to harden.

Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to firm.

If you are a fan of easy desserts that look and taste like a high end restaurant dessert, this dessert should be on your “must make” list. Perfect for feeding a crowd.

I have a few pieces that I froze to keep in the fridge for my late night peanut butter cravings. If you are not feeding a crowd, consider enjoying some now and saving some for later.
