Topped with whipped cream, extra candies, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup, this cheesecake requires no baking and sets in the fridge for a simple yet indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Filling

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces candy

Topping

  • 1 cup whipped heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces candy
  • Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Make crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to set.
  2. Make filling: In a mixing bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until well combined. Then gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces candy to distribute evenly.
  3. Assemble: Pour the prepared filling over the chilled crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula to cover the surface completely.
  4. Make topping: Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe this whipped cream mixture on top of the cheesecake filling. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces candy. Finish by drizzling chocolate syrup over the top for added flavor and decoration.
  5. Chill: Place the completed cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and develop its flavor.
  6. Serve: Remove the sides of the springform pan carefully before slicing. Cut into 12 even servings and enjoy this creamy, no-bake peanut butter cheesecake.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • The cheesecake must chill long enough to fully set, so plan accordingly.
  • You can substitute the Reese’s Pieces candy with chopped peanuts or chocolate chunks if preferred.
  • Store leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
