Ingredients
UnitsScale
Crust:
1 1/2cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos, finely crushed)
1/4cup unsalted butter (melted)
Filling:
8ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/2cup creamy peanut butter
1/2cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1cup whipped topping or whipped cream
Topping:
1/2cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4cup heavy cream
chopped peanuts or mini peanut butter cups for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined. Spread the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
Topping: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream together until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly, then pour over the cheesecake and spread evenly. Chill for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Garnish: Garnish with chopped peanuts or mini peanut butter cups if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
For a firmer texture, freeze the cheesecake for 30 minutes before slicing.
