White Chocolate PB Cheesecake

Now this dessert, not trying to brag, but it is amazing. Plus, it is not my recipe so it's okay if I brag. I got so many compliments on this cheesecake, more than I have gotten on any dessert before. I'm not going to waste any time, I'm just going to get this out there and yall need to make it. I give you permission to eat the whole thing by yourself. Here's what you'll need

Nutter butters, butter, sugar, cream cheese, white bakers chocolate, flour, peanut butter, eggs, vanilla, and white chocolate reese's cups. Place the nutter butters in the bowl of a food processor

Pulse until crumbly. Add butter and sugar

Pulse until completely combined

Press into a greased springform pan

Bake about 5 minutes. Let cool; prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese about 2 minutes

Add sugar

Beat until fluffy and well combined. Add eggs one at a time

Once the eggs have been well mixed in, add the peanut butter, melted & cooled white chocolate, flour, and vanilla

Beat all this together well on medium speed

Chop reese's cups into halves and fourths

Set those aside. Pour half of the filling over the crust and spread it out evenly

Sprinkle half of the chopped reese's cups over the first layer

Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top

Sprinkle with the remaining reese's cups

Bake

Cool until cheesecake has gotten to room temp. Refrigerate overnight or until cold. While chilling, prepare the peanut butter cream cheese dollops. Here's what you'll need

Cream cheese, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar

Beat until well combined. Add the peanut butter and vanilla

Mix it up until you get this...

It will need to be thick so don't add any liquid. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Scoop into a piping bag. Pipe around the cheesecake to where there is 1 dollop for each piece of cheesecake (pipe like you would pipe frosting on a cupcake)

Slice and serve with whipped cream (optional). & the inside of the cheesecake

This would be super good if you wanted to add peanut butter ice cream topping on each slice. Or even butterfinger candy when you add the reese's cups. Whatever floats your boat. Enjoy :)
