These cheesecakes are one word: sinful. They’re truly almost too good and as someone who is famously fond of peanut butter and chocolate together and tends to eat spoonfuls of peanut butter topped with chocolate chips as a snack, these are my complete weakness.
To make this recipe as mini cheesecakes I used this
This can be fully assembled 1 day in advance. Keep covered for freshness.

No Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake
Makes 10 two inch cheesecakes or one 8 inch cheesecake.
Ingredients:
Crust:
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- 8 ounces chocolate wafer cookies, finely ground (2 cups)
Cheesecake:
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 8oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup Buttercup and Pretzel mixture
Chocolate Pouring Glaze:
- 2/3 cups dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar, sifted
- 4-5 tablespoons water, warm
Instructions:
Crust:
1.Melt butter and stir into the cookie crumbs.
2. Press remaining mixture into pan and bake at 350 degrees F for about 7 minutes. Set aside to cool. (No need for butter the chocolate will melt and bind the crust together.)
Cheesecake:
Pour ¼ cup of cold water into a shallow, heat-proof bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water and set aside for five minute until gelatin blooms. Place bowl of bloomed gelatin in microwave at 50% power and heat for 10 seconds. Mixture should be hot, but not steaming. Make sure mixture is liquidified and no lumps are visible. Set aside.
Place heavy cream into a stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on high until medium peaks form. Set aside.
Add cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, salt, Butterfinger and Pretzel mixture, in a bowl and beat until smooth.
Add one tablespoon of gelatin into cream cheese mixture at a time and gently fold to combine. Add heavy cream mixture and fold to combine.
Transfer mixture to a pastry bag and pipe into wells. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set or overnight for best result. For smooth and even sides, use an offset spatula and run it along the edge of the removable bottom, using that as a guide, continue all the way around the mini cake until you end up where you started. Refrigerate for 2 hours
Chocolate Pouring Glaze:
1. Place chocolate and heavy cream in a bowl over simmering water. Let chocolate and cream sit for 2-3 minutes to melt without stirring. Then slowly stir mixture to combine. Add powdered sugar and mix to combine. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until pouring consistency is reached. Set aside and let sauce cool to warm.
TO ASSEMBLE:
1. Pour warm glaze on top of cheesecake . Return to fridge for an hour or until 20 minutes before serving
