Description
A delicious blend of creamy cheesecake and crunchy Butterfinger bars, perfect for parties or as a treat.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups (302g) Oreo crumbs
- 4 tbsp (56g) salted butter, melted
- 24 ounces (678g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup (207g) sugar
- 3 tbsp (24g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (173g) sour cream, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (140g) peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups (12 fun-sized bars) chopped Butterfingers
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup (58g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp (35g) peanut butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Chopped Butterfingers for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix Oreo crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add flour, sour cream, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold in the chopped Butterfingers.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake for about 55-60 minutes or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
- Cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To decorate, heat heavy whipping cream until simmering, pour over chocolate chips, stir until smooth, and allow to cool. Pour over the chilled cheesecake.
- In another bowl, whip heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spread this on top of the cheesecake and finish with more chopped Butterfingers.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter and avoid over-mixing the eggs to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
