Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos, crushed)
• 2 tbsp melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz light cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

• Mini Reese’s candies, chopped
• Drizzle of melted chocolate or peanut butter (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.

2. Make the Crust
In a small bowl, mix cookie crumbs with melted butter. Divide evenly among liners and press firmly to form a crust.

3. Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add yogurt, peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla; mix until creamy and well combined.

4. Fill & Bake
Spoon filling evenly over crusts. Bake 18–20 minutes, until centers are set but still slightly jiggly.

5. Cool & Chill
Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

6. Add Toppings
Before serving, sprinkle with chopped mini Reese’s and drizzle with chocolate or peanut butter if desired.

Tips for Success

• Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Ensures a smooth, lump-free filling.
• Don’t Overbake: Cheesecakes should be slightly jiggly in the center—they’ll set while cooling.
• Chill Thoroughly: At least 2 hours for best texture.
• Get Creative with Toppings: Add whipped cream, crushed pretzels, or drizzle with caramel for extra flair.
