Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese
- 4 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup flour
- 4 cups sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter with the crust mixture until well incorporated. Press the mixture onto the bottom and sides of a greased 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even layer.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the flour, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined.
-
Layering: Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust-lined pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups over the batter.
-
Finishing Touches: Carefully pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups layer, ensuring it covers the filling evenly.
-
Bake: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 225°F (107°C) and continue baking for an additional hour, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Chilling: Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
-
Serve: When ready to serve, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into individual portions. Garnish with additional chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups if desired. Enjoy the indulgent flavors of this irresistible Reese’s Peanut Butter Cheesecake with friends and family!
