Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake

Ingredients:

• 2 cups crushed chocolate graham crackers
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups chopped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
• Chocolate ganache optional for topping
• Additional Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for decoration

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325F 165C. Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in heavy cream.
3. Fold in chopped Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and pour the mixture over the crust.
4. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top appears dull. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer.
5. Refrigerate overnight. Before serving, top with chocolate ganache and decorate with additional Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
