Ingredients
CHEESECAKE
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 12 ounces whipped topping, divided
OREO CRUST
- 1 1/2 cups (about 24) Oreo cookies, filling removed
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
TOPPING
- 16 mini Reese's® Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped and chopped
Instructions
CHEESECAKE
- In a stand mixer combine cream cheese, peanut butter, and confectioners' sugar on low speed for 30 seconds using the whisk attachment.
- Turn mixer to medium-high and mix for 1-2 more minutes, or until ingredients are smooth and fully incorporated.
- Remove bowl from mixer and fold in 2/3 of whipped topping by hand. (The remaining will be added in the jars.)
- Optional: if you want peanut butter cups in the cheesecake now is when to add them. Make sure they have been finely chopped. Reserve 1/3 of the cups for garnish.
OREO CRUST
- Add 24 Oreos (filling removed and set aside) to a food processor and process until the Oreos are finely crushed.
- In a large bowl, add the processed cookies and the melted butter. Stir to combine.
ASSEMBLING THE DESSERT
- Take 2 tablespoons of Oreo® crust and press into the bottom of each jar; using a spoon helps to press them in evenly.
- Carefully spoon peanut butter cheesecake into each jar, about 3/4 way up.
- Carefully spoon (a piping bag also works great here) whipped topping on top of cheesecake.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of chopped Reese's® Peanut Butter Cups.
- Add covers to the jars and chill for at least 3 hours.
- Store for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
