Description

This no-bake cheesecake dessert features layers of creamy peanut butter and chocolate, all topped with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. It’s a perfect make-ahead dessert for any occasion, especially during hot weather when you want a treat without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 2 sleeves graham crackers (about 18–20 crackers)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Peanut Butter Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • For the Chocolate Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • For the Toppings:
  • 12–15 Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
  • Extra whipped cream (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or melted peanut butter drizzle (optional)
  • Whole Reese’s for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix crumbs with sugar, melted butter, and salt. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the peanut butter layer: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Spread this peanut butter layer evenly over the chilled crust.
  3. Prepare the chocolate layer: In another large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Beat in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Spread this chocolate layer evenly over the peanut butter layer.
  4. Add toppings: Sprinkle the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups evenly over the chocolate layer. If desired, add extra whipped cream, chocolate shavings, melted peanut butter drizzle, or whole Reese’s for decoration.
  5. Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  6. Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy your no-bake Reese’s Peanut Butter dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and butter are truly softened for a smooth filling.
  • Sifting powdered sugar helps prevent lumps in the layers.
  • For best results, chill the dessert for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly.
  • This dessert can be made 2-3 days in advance.
