Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch round springform pan and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with the melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined and creamy.
  4. Add Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: Fold in the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups into the cheesecake batter until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour into the Pan: Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the top.
  6. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  7. Cool and Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
  8. Drizzle with Caramel Sauce: Before serving, drizzle the top of the cheesecake with caramel sauce for added sweetness and flavor.
  9. Slice and Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice into wedges, and serve. Enjoy the deliciousness of your homemade Reese’s Caramel Cheesecake!
