Peanut Butter Brownie No Bake Cheesecake
It’s Sunday Supper time again! This week it is all about what to make with those Easter/Passover leftovers. I’d been wanting to make this cheesecake for quite some time and if I had little ones around I may of borrowed their peanut butter eggs just to make this. Instead I picked up some mini peanut butter cups.
I have always loved Easter, we always had a big family party. The kids loved the Easter Egg Hunt our Aunt Barbie did for them every year. It was almost worth being a kid again just to get the foil wrappers with change and dollar bills in them. Lots of candy was hidden too!
You do need to bake a pan of brownies to make this or buy some if you have a favorite one from somewhere. A box brownie worked great. Make sure to line the pan with parchment or you might not get the brownie out in one piece for the bottom.
Ready to make our cheesecake?
- 1 brownie mix made according to package directions
- 2 8 oz. packages cream cheese - at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 12 oz. carton cool whip - thawed
- 1 bag Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
- Ice Cream Caramel
- Bake brownies according to package directions. I baked mine in a 9 x 12 cookie pan lined with parchment. (I strongly advise you use parchment paper.) When cool take the disc from a 9 inch spring-form pan, lay it on top of the brownies and cut a circle. This is the base of this cheesecake. The extra pieces will be used in the center of the cake.
- Add the cream cheese to a mixing bowl. Add the peanut butter and mix together thoroughly.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk.and vanilla. Mix together.
- Fold in the cool whip.
- Place the brownie base in the bottom of a 9 inch spring-form pan. Add half of the peanut butter mixture.
- Cut the remaining pieces of brownies into bite size pieces. Place them on top of the peanut butter filling. Press down lightly. Add remaining cheesecake mixture.
- Top with the peanut butter cups..Press down lightly. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Drizzle the caramel over the peanut butter cups.
- If desired add whipped cream around the edges. I used 1/2 cup heavy cream to 1/3 cup confectionery sugar, beaten until stiff.
Ready to see what everyone else is making? Have a fabulous Easter!

Oh, yum! That looks decadently sweet and delicious, Mary Ellen! Peanut butter and brownies are best friends. I love a make-ahead dessert that is served cold!
Hi Stacy, they are indeed best friends!
Now this is an outstanding reason to buy an extra bag of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups! What a gorgeous dessert!
This is for sure the reason. I’m taking it to friends today minus the one piece…. good thing they know me very well.
I’m going to be totally distracted for days just thinking about this. Oh my heavens and stars above. WOW.
LOL!
Oh dear heavens! Kryptonite!!
LOL Constance!
Oh-my-goodness, Mary Ellen! Your cheesecake is a winner on sooooo many levels. A. Love the look. B. Love that it is a no-bake. C. Love that you combine two of my favorite foods – PB and chocolate!!!
Thanks Kim! We had it today and we all loved it.
This looks amazing ! Pinning !
Thanks Linda!
WHOA. Just… Whoa! I think I might’ve just died and gone to heaven, where they clearly serve peanut butter brownie no bake cheesecakes. That would be my kind of heaven :) I’m definitely putting this one on my to-make list–bookmarking now! Thanks for this wonderful share!
LOL Ala! I think they should have this in heaven too….
This just looks ridiculously decadent and yummy! Your pics have me drooling!!!
Thanks Valerie!
Oh. My. God. This is the most incredible looking dessert in the world. I want to eat the whole thing. And then I want more!
Thanks Shaina! We have some left, I’ll share….
This looks ridiculously delicious! I can’t believe it’s no bake!
Thanks Hezzi!
wow, that looks amazing! this recipe is genius!!!
I don’t know about genius but it sure was good. I don’t know why I never thought of it before. The filling was my mom’s favorite.
This cheesecake looks divine! LOVE that you use a brownie crust. And the mini Reese’s are my absolute favorite Reese’s product – in my opinion it’s the perfect ration of chocolate to peanut butter.
Thanks Lauren!
Ohhhh myyyyyyy!! That looks delicious! I love that it is no-bake!!
