Indulge in this decadent dessert that combines the creamy richness of cheesecake with the delightful flavors of peanut butter and chocolate, all atop a crunchy Oreo crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until fully combined.
