Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake is absolutely the bomb! The creamy peanut butter cheesecake filling with Oreo cookie crust, chopped Reese's peanut butter cups and a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top is to die for.
You will be making this easy no bake Reese's Cheesecake recipe again and again.
This No Bake Reese's Peanut Butter Cheesecake recipe is the marriage of two of my very favorite sweets, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and cheesecake. Being a no bake dessert it is both perfect for the hot days of summer, as well as a dessert to make with the kids.
While the hands-on time to make this is pretty minimal, do plan ahead to give this plenty of time to chill before serving. A half hour of chilling during prep, and four hours after. This is pretty typical of cheesecakes of all kinds though. The wait is well worth it.

Hmmm sounds delish, but my wife and I are diabetic. I wonder if I replace the oreos with sugar free cookies (oreo copies) and substituted the sugar with Stevia if it would work out right??
Robin Gagnon says
I don't see why it wouldn't if you used an equal measure zero calorie sugar substitute.
