Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Mixture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup golden brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup Cool Whip (for mixture)
Mix-ins and Toppings
- 10 Oreo cookies, crumbled
- 10 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, crushed
- 1 cup Cool Whip (for topping)
Crust
- 1 Oreo pie crust
Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Base: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, smooth peanut butter, and golden brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Crush Cookies and Cups: Place Oreo cookies into a Ziploc bag and crush them gently with a heavy-bottomed pot or rolling pin. Repeat the same process with the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in a separate bag.
- Mix in Crumbles and Whip: Add half of the crumbled Oreos and half of the crushed peanut butter cups into the cream cheese mixture along with 1/2 cup of Cool Whip. Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together evenly without losing the fluffiness.
- Assemble in Crust: Pour the combined cheesecake mixture into the Oreo pie crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth top layer.
- Add Whipped Topping: Spread the remaining 1 cup of Cool Whip evenly over the cheesecake mixture to add a light and airy topping.
- Top and Chill: Sprinkle the remaining crumbled Oreos and crushed peanut butter cups over the top for decoration and added texture.
- Refrigerate: Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least two hours to set properly before slicing and serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice into portions, serve chilled, and enjoy this rich and creamy no bake cheesecake.
Notes
- For best results, soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
- You can substitute the Oreo pie crust with a homemade crushed Oreo and butter crust if preferred.
- Keep the cheesecake refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
- To crush cookies and peanut butter cups evenly, avoid pulverizing into powder; small chunks add great texture.
- If desired, garnish with additional peanut butter cups or a drizzle of chocolate sauce before serving.
