1

Prepare the Crust

Start by crushing 20 chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with 1/2 cup melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

2

Make the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat 24 ounces of cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar and beat until well combined. Mix in 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Crush 10 peanut butter cups and fold them into the batter.

3

Bake and Chill

Pour the filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Let the cheesecake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the sides of the pan. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4

Garnish and Serve

Before serving, whip up some cream and spread it over the chilled cheesecake. Crush a few more peanut butter cups and sprinkle them on top. Your Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake is ready to be served and savored! Enjoy every creamy, nutty bite.
