Individual PB Cup Cheesecakes


These are individual cheesecakes, baked in cupcake papers, with a crust, a Reese's cup on top of the crust, then covered with cheesecake batter. After they're baked & cooled, a spoonful of chocolate ganache puts the proverbial icing on the cake!! Recipe will be posted soon! :)





Heat oven to 350ยบ - line muffin pans with cupcake papers.

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

unwrap a couple dozen mini Peanut butter cups

Beat cream cheese, 2/3 cup sugar, 3 eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla with mixer until smooth. Put a spoonful into each muffin paper- top with a mini PB cup.  Put another larger 
spoonful of batter over (completely cover PB cup).  




Bake 13-16 minutes, until the cheesecake is set.
Remove from oven. Cool completely.

Make a chocolate ganache -
Heat 1 cup of heavy whipping cream (LOW heat - do NOT boil!!) - add 2 cups of chopped up semi sweet chocolate (can use half semi sweet and half bittersweet)  and stir continually until chocolate is totally melted & incorporated.


Spoon chocolate over each cheesecake. Refrigerate.
