Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownies are chocolate peanut butter heaven! The no bake cheesecake is the perfect topping to these fudgy brownies!

I must admit, I have a weakness for all things chocolate and peanut butter (hellooooo, Homemade Butterfinger Fudge Brownies!!)! I have a feeling a lot of you do too – that’s why we’re such good friends!

Recently I have fallen in love with no bake cheesecake. It couldn’t be easier to make, and it’s so light and creamy – completely irresistible! After making this No Bake Butterfinger Cheesecake Pie, I knew that magical peanut butter cheesecake had to join forces with my favorite homemade fudge brownies!

How to Make No Bake Cheesecake:

  • First start with the cream cheese. Pro Tip: always use room temperature cream cheese. It needs to be nice and soft to make a silky smooth cheesecake.
  • Use powdered, or confectioners, sugar to sweeten. Because we aren’t baking the cheesecake, granulated sugar would be too gritty. Powdered sugar keeps the texture smooth and luscious!
  • Add Cool Whip to give it a light, creamy texture.

(Complete recipe and directions in recipe card below.)

    I’m loving these…but I should probably make a batch for myself first just to make sure I don’t mess it up 😉

    Oh, these look like peanut butter and chocolate perfection! And the cheesecake addition just makes it that much more dangerous/amazing!
