Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups
  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth.
  5. Beat in the flour and vanilla extract.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  7. Stir in the sour cream until just combined.
  8. Gently fold in the chopped peanut butter cups.
  9. Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  11. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  12. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  13. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  14. Before serving, warm the chocolate syrup and peanut butter slightly and whisk together. Drizzle over the cheesecake.

Notes

  • For a smoother cheesecake, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter once the eggs are added to prevent cracking.
  • Chilling is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly.
