Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
The peanut butter flavor in this creamy cheesecake filling is bold and satisfying.
The chocolate chips throughout add a semisweet chocolate goodness and a crunchy texture.
This decadent and rich cheesecake combination will be a winner for anyone wanting that rich peanut butter and chocolate boost.
The only addition needed here is the Oreo sandwich cookie crust and my signature Hot Fudge Sauce!
These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:
- 15 Cookies or 1 1/2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies, finely crushed
- 3 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter meltedFILLING
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
- 3 large Land O Lakes® Eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:
- Heat oven to 325°F. Wrap outside of 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil. Lightly grease inside of pan.
- Combine all crust ingredients in bowl. Press crumb mixture evenly onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes. Cool completely.
- Reduce oven to 300°F.
- Combine sour cream and cream cheese in bowl. Beat at low speed 1 minute. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sugar and peanut butter. Continue beating until well mixed. (Do not over beat.) Stir in chocolate chips.
- Spoon filling over cooled crust. Place cheesecake onto center rack of oven. Place pan of warm water on rack below cheesecake to prevent cracking. Bake 55-65 minutes or until center is almost set.
- Loosen sides of cheesecake from pan immediately, by carefully running knife around inside of pan. Cool 1 hour. Cover; refrigerate 4 hours or overnight until completely cooled. Remove pan side. Store covered in refrigerator up to 3 days.
Peanut butter and chocolate are an age old combination that never fails to please.
But when you are adding the oreo crust and hot fudge on top you are guaranteed anyone without a peanut allergy will finish this cheesecake down to the last crumb.

Oh my gosh Marilyn!!!!! Wow this cheesecake too looks ridiculous!! (Amazing;)) I am having a hard time now figuring out which one to make!! I’m so happy I am now getting your recipe feed. Salivating just a little?!
Cheesecake is my “thing” Kathleen. Once I get them all published I am going to do a roundup. I am glad you are subscribed too! Happy Easter to you!
The kids picked your peanut butter chocolate chip cheesecake for me to make for Easter! WOW…it’s amazing! My girls wanted to be right there with me making it. That lasts for a bit, they go off to play, and I end up licking the whole bowl! Salmonella and all 😉 ha! It was so delicious! Everyone really loved it! I also love that I found gluten free oreos for the crust. My daughter who has GF sensitivities was able to eat the whole dessert! She loves when I make her special things that she can eat and now I know that I can do that with any of your cheesecakes. Thanks so much Marilyn!
I am so tickled! I love when i can share the cooking with the little ones. Those are the memories they will carry with them forever. And i think of it as living on within their hearts. I am so glad you all enjoyed the cheesecake.
Oh my this looks so good!!!
Thank you Clearissa. This cheesecake was a hit at my last dinner party. I hope you get. To enjoy it. Happy Easter!
