Reese's Cheesecake

I decided to create my own cheesecake a few nights ago. I decided to make a Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake since I had plenty of Reese's Cups on hand.

This baby has an Oreo cookie crust, rich peanut buttery cheesecake filling with chopped Reese's Cups and topped with milk chocolate ganache.


I made some homemade whipped cream to pipe on to and added more chopped Reese's Cups.




I reserved some extra milk chocolate ganache to drizzle across each slice. Here is the recipe created by me:


Crust:
1 ½ Cup Oreos, crushed
2 Tablespoons Butter, melted

Cheesecake:
3 8 ounce packages cream cheese
½ Cup Brown Sugar
½ Cup White Sugar
4 Eggs
2 Teaspoons Pure Vanilla
¼ Cup Heavy Cream
1 ¼ Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
10 Full Size Reese’s Cups

Topping:
½ Cup Heavy Cream
¾ Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
Whipped Cream
Reese’s
Roasted Peanuts

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Crush Oreos. Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl and add crushed Oreos and mix until moistened. Pour into a 9” springform pan and pat crust down firmly and set aside.
Mix cream cheese, brown sugar and white sugar together. Add eggs one at a time incorporated. Add in vanilla, heavy cream and peanut butter until well mixed. Chop Reese’s Cups and add to mixture and pour into the springform pan and bake 20 minutes at 350. Turn down oven to 300 degrees and bake for an additional 40 minutes. Turn off oven, crack oven door open and allow cheesecake to rest in the oven until it cools off.
