Description

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake Cups combine creamy cheesecake with rich peanut butter and nostalgic Reese’s peanut butter cups for a luscious, easy-to-make dessert perfect for parties or any occasion. These individual servings offer a smooth, airy texture with a crunchy graham cracker crust and irresistible chocolate-peanut butter bursts.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
  • 1/2 cup mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp butter, melted

Garnish

  • Remaining chopped mini Reese’s peanut butter cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture holds together when pressed. Spoon into serving cups and press firmly to create an even crust layer. Refrigerate to set.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Gently fold in whipped heavy cream to create a light, fluffy texture.
  3. Add Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: Chop mini Reese’s peanut butter cups and fold half into the cheesecake filling for chocolate-peanut butter bursts. Reserve the rest for garnish.
  4. Assemble the Cups: Evenly divide the cheesecake filling over the crust in each cup. Smooth the tops with a spatula and sprinkle the reserved chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups on top.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the cups and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor and firmness. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to preserve a light, airy texture.
  • Press the crust firmly to help it hold together during serving.
  • Chill the cups thoroughly to enhance texture and flavor melding.
  • Use high-quality peanut butter and cream cheese for best taste.
