Toppings
- 8 Reese's peanut butter cups mini
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line the pan with the cupcake liners.
Using a medium bowl, mix the chocolate graham cracker and sugar until combined.
Gently mix in the melted butter until a sandlike mixture forms.
Using a tablespoon, scoop 1 tablespoon of the crust into each cupcake liner.
Using a flat bottomed cup, gently press into the crust to make an even and flat layer.
Set aside while you make the cheesecake filling.
Cheesecake Layer
Using a large bowl, beat the creamy cheese and sugar until smooth and combined.
Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time until combined.
Beat in the peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
Spoon in about 2 ½ tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture into each cupcake.
Bake in the oven for 18 - 20 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake is set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before removing from the pan and placing onto a cookie sheet.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Layer
Using a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil.
Place into the microwave for 45-second increments, stirring each time, until completely melted and smooth.
Spoon about 1 tbsp of the chocolate topping over each cheesecake.
Place into the fridge overnight.
Chocolate Whipped Cream
Using a medium bowl and hand mixer, or standing mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar until combined and stiff peaks form.
Scoop the chocolate whipped cream into the piping bag.
Pipe dollops of the chocolate whipped cream on top of the cupcakes and sprinkle mini chocolate chips.
Cut a mini Reese cup in half and place it on top of the cheesecake.
Enjoy!
