Ingredients
  

For the crust:

24 Oreo cookies, crushed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

For the topping:

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

6-8 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, chopped

Extra crushed Oreo cookies for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until well mixed.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

          Make the cheesecake filling:

            - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).

              - Add the creamy peanut butter and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

                - Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well blended before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

                  - Finally, mix in the sour cream and mini chocolate chips until just combined.

                    Bake the cheesecake:

                      - Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled Oreo crust, spreading evenly.

                        - Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle.

                          - Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an hour. This helps prevent cracking.

                            Chill the cheesecake:

                              - Once cool, cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for the best texture.

                                Prepare the topping:

                                  - In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it starts to thicken.

                                    - Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until soft peaks form.

                                      Assemble the cheesecake:

                                        - Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.

                                          - Spread the whipped cream over the top of the chilled cheesecake.

                                            - Sprinkle the chopped Reese's Cups and extra crushed Oreo cookies on top for decoration.

                                              Serve:

                                                - Slice the cheesecake with a hot knife for clean cuts, serve, and enjoy!
