Just because I like you. Happy Tuesday!
I have also made this cheesecake with chopped up Reese's cups decorating the top instead of peanut butter chips, and I prefer that version!
Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake
Recipe adapted from Easybaked
-2 (8oz.) packages of cream cheese, softened
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Combine Oreo crumbs with 1/4 cup butter. Press into the bottom of an 8 or 9 inch springform pan to form the crust.
Beat softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating in between each one. Add melted chocolate, heavy cream, and vanilla, and beat until smooth.
Pour mixture into crust and allow to sit at room temp for 30 minutes.
Place cheesecake on a cookie sheet and bake for 60 minutes.
Remove cheesecake from oven and run knife around edge of pan. Remove edge of pan.
Allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature. Meanwhile, you can make the toppings:
Pour peanut butter topping onto cheesecake and smooth over top. Refrigerate or freeze for 15 minutes or until nearly set.
Decorate as desired. (Extra PB chips, or actual Reese's cups cut into quarters are cute here.)
Refrigerate cheesecake for at least 24 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
