Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1.5 cups crushed chocolate wafer cookies
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 0.25 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a small bowl, combine crushed cookies and melted butter. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, and peanut butter until well combined.
  • Spoon the filling evenly into the prepared muffin liners over the crust.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.
  • Let cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While cheesecakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  • Once cheesecakes are completely cooled, top each with a halved Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and drizzle with chocolate ganache.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

These mini cheesecakes are best served chilled. You can make them ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator.
