Favorite Ingredients Friday (Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake)
Hooray! It's Friday! I am so ready for a long weekend of doing nothing after this busy holiday season.
Okay, it's time for another Favorite Ingredients Friday recipe exchange!
The recipe I'm about to share is something I just made for Oronzo last night. He was complaining that I always make baked treats and then take them in to work and that he wished I would make something just for him that he didn't have to share. So, I did just that and he loved it!
Hmm...I'm noticing from my previous posts list that I seem to lean towards dessert recipes. I may have to try to mix things up a bit...next week.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 16 Reese's cups, chopped
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
- Add flour, sour cream and vanilla.
- Pour half of batter in crust lined 9" springform pan (see below for crust recipe).
- Sprinkle Reese's on top.
- Pour remaining batter over top.
- Bake at 425F for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 225F and bake for an hour. (This 2 different heat seatings worked wonderfully! My cheesecake didn't even crack!)
- Chill cheesecake in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
- Garnish with Reese’s cups and drizzle warmed chocolate over the top.
Crust
- 1 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
- 1 cup vanilla wafer crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Mix together and press onto bottom and sides of greased 9" springform pan.
Here are some pictures from the one I made last night.
This is the center of the cheesecake. Look at all those yummy chunks of Reese's!
Here's the second layer of cheesecake going over the top of the Reese's.
Here's the top of my finished cheesecake. I didn't have time to drizzle melted chocolate over it.
Here's the piece of my final product that was delivered to my husband!
Okay, that's all from me! Now I look forward to seeing your Favorite Ingredients Friday recipe! Here's the top of my finished cheesecake. I didn't have time to drizzle melted chocolate over it.

Oh, and be sure to put the title of your recipe in parenthesis! It makes it so much quicker for me to go back and search for recipes as I build my weekly menu.

Man! If I get anymore peanut butter recipes, I'm going to be too fat! PB is the way to my heart! Espcially reese's cups! Thanks for the recipe!
Oh my this sounds divine!! I love Reese's PB Cups so I just have to make this one!
Joe says the same thing to me when I'm going to the spouse's meetings and bunco! I always make the "good stuff" to bring out and don't make it at home!
I thought I'd stick with the Reeses PB cup theme!!!!!!!!! :-) :-)
That looks sooooo good! I'm drooling over here....must clean up the keyboard now!

Wow, that looks delicious! I love Reese's peanut butter cups and cheesecake so I'm sure that I would love this.
That does look fabulous. I have a friend who die over this.
Wow! Your dessert looks totally de-lish! My husband might just like this b/c of the Reese PB cups. He's not a fan of cheesecake, but perhaps he can be convinced otherwise. lol
Love your pics. Are you from the British Isles?
I'm late, but I'm here. And darned glad to be here when I saw your recipe. Reese's pb cups are my all time favorite candy (in fact I'm going to eat one when I'm done posting this). I am definitely making this recipe!! Happy New Year:) :)
I love the reese's cup cheesecake! I am making this one as soon as I fall off the diet wagon! So probably next week.
If I lived at your house, I'd weigh 500lbs.!
When can I move in?
OH my goodness I just died and went to heaven just looking at that!!!! Man o man that looks good.
This is low-cal, right? LOL I hope so. I know I'm going to have to make this!
Happy New Year to you and your little family. I'm praying the new year will bring that longed for second child to you.
I'm jumping in to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR and to tell you that I've put on about 5 lbs just looking at those pictures, but hey, it looks DIVINE and I'm going to make try it this weekend LOL
Hope the new year brings you all you wish for, will keep you in my prayers and hope that you get the second child you so wish for :)
Hugs,
Sandra

Just looking at those makes me want some, too delicious.
I can't find your e-mail, I am organizing all my lists and you are on my big sister list as a member (we adopted Ally a few months ago - our young mother) would you please let me have it again? I have a mailing list for all the women who have participated.
