Instructions

Assembling and Baking

1. Preheat & Prepare. Set the oven to 325°F (163°C). Place a roasting pan filled with hot water on the lower rack to create a gentle steam bath, which helps prevent cracks on the cheesecake surface.
2. Form the Crust. Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter, then press firmly into the springform pan. The chilled crust provides a sturdy foundation that won’t crumble when the cheesecake is sliced.
3. Blend the Filling. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until creamy. Incorporate eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla and peanut butter. This gradual method ensures a smooth, homogenous batter without lumps.
4. Swirl the Peanut Butter. Melt Reese’s cups with heavy cream over low heat, stirring until glossy. Drizzle over the batter and use a thin knife to create marble swirls; this visual cue also distributes flavor pockets throughout.
5. Bake & Cool. Bake for 45‑50 minutes. The edges should be lightly golden while the center still jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to avoid sudden temperature shifts.
