One of our favorite restaurants in the world happens to be next door to none other than The Cheesecake Factory. We usually can’t resist stopping for a piece of cheesecake to take home. I have to admit, I don’t love having dinner at The Cheesecake Factory (it’s just a little overpriced for what it is, in my opinion), but the cheesecake is on point.
I don’t love making cheesecake at home. They are so fussy, and mine always crack.
This no-bake version is seriously full-proof. The base has all the rich flavors of a chocolate cheesecake, and the peanut butter layer piped on top makes the whole thing taste like a peanut butter cup. It’s perfect for #Choctoberfest or any time of year!
This recipe actually makes enough for two pies, or you can do what I did and make one big pie and six mini pies. I couldn’t find mini Oreo pie crusts, so I just used regular graham cracker pie crusts, and they were still very tasty. Plus, mini pies look so cute on a plate. I delivered to the neighbors and they loved them.
I was inspired to make this pie after receiving peanut butter chips from one of our #Choctoberfest sponsors, Davis Chocolate. Their Organic Peanutta Chips are easily the tastiest peanut butter chips I’ve ever tried, and I’m not just saying that because they sent me a bag to try, along with their wave chocolate sticks. I kept eating them right out of the bag, and had to stop myself so I would have enough for this recipe. They are delicious!
They are perfect on top of this pie to add a little peanut butter texture. You could also use the wave chocolate sticks to decorate your pie, though I’ve been opting to nibble on them at night with a glass of wine. 🙂
