Reeses No Bake Cheesecake

Reeses No Bake Cheesecake! Yes, it’s true, I married Matt for his last name! Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are my favorite candy bar. Today is the celebration of both Andie and Amber’s February birthdays! So I decided to mix up Momma Kim’s Strawberry Dessert and make my version. It was delicious! Give it a try!

Are you ready to indulge in the most epic dessert creation of your life? Say hello to the Reese’s Oreo Dream Cheesecake, a mind-blowing mashup that fuses creamy, tangy cheesecake with a chocolatey Oreo crust, all drizzled in hot fudge and crowned with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Every forkful is a rollercoaster ride of textures and flavors—smooth, crunchy, heavenly, and downright addictive.

Imagine pulling this beauty from the fridge at a party. As you slice through that silky cheesecake layer, forks hover, eyes widen, and the room goes silent in anticipation. That’s the power of this recipe: it turns an ordinary gathering into a celebration. Whether you’re baking for a special occasion, surprising your Valentine, or simply craving something over-the-top decadent on a Tuesday night, this dessert has you covered.

I first whipped up this creation on a lazy Sunday afternoon when I was desperate for peanut butter and chocolate. One taste, and I knew I had to share it with the world. It’s ridiculously easy to assemble, looks like you spent hours in the kitchen, and tastes like every dessert dream you ever had. So, preheat your enthusiasm, grab your mixing tools, and let’s make magic happen.

1 1/2 packs of Philadelphia Cream Cheese

Step-by-Step Recipe

Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (if you’d like a firmer base—this is optional).
In a large bowl, combine 3 cups crushed Oreos, 1 stick melted butter, and ⅓ cup sugar.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. Bake for 8 minutes for a sturdy crust, or chill for 15 minutes if you prefer no-bake.

Cheesecake Filling

In a stand mixer, whip 1½ packages (about 18 oz) of room-temperature Philadelphia Cream Cheese until smooth.
Add a 16 oz tub of Cool Whip and 1½ cups powdered sugar. Beat on medium until silky and totally lump-free.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over your crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula.

Topping

Drizzle 1 jar of hot fudge over the chilled cheesecake. Keep it warm enough to pour but not so hot that it melts the filling.
Chop 16 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (frozen first for clean cuts).
Sprinkle ½ cup extra crushed Oreos and the chopped Reese’s evenly over the fudge.

Chill & Serve

Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Slice with a hot, dry knife for clean lines.
Serve cold and watch the jaws drop.

Calorie Count

Listen, life is too short to stress over every calorie—especially when the payoff is this mouthwatering. Here’s the approximate breakdown per slice if you portion this 9×13 pan into 12 generous pieces:

Calories per slice: 620
Total Fat: 37g
Carbohydrates: 65g
Protein: 6g
Sugars: 45g

Keep in mind these numbers can vary slightly based on the brand of ingredients you choose. If you’re doing a “heavy whip” of Cool Whip or using extra-buttery Oreos, you might see a slight bump. But trust me: each glorious calorie is totally worth it. Treat yourself, savor the moment, and share the love (or don’t—no judgment here).

Cooking Tips

Prep Ingredients Early
Soften your cream cheese at room temperature for at least an hour. Nobody wants lumpy, cold cream cheese ruining a smooth batter.
Use a Stand Mixer
A stand mixer or a hand mixer will get you that perfectly whipped texture. Scrape the bowl periodically to ensure all cream cheese lumps disappear.
Even Press on the Crust
Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the pan using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup. This guarantees a uniform layer that won’t crack or crumble.
Control Your Fudge Temperature
Warm your hot fudge just enough to drizzle smoothly. If it’s too hot, it’ll melt the cheesecake. Aim for a pourable consistency at around 100°F (38°C).
Freeze Reese’s for Easy Chopping
Pop your Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before chopping. You’ll get cleaner cuts and less stickiness.
Chill Thoroughly
After assembling, cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours—overnight is best. This resting time allows flavors to meld and ensures clean slicing.
Slice Like a Pro
Run your knife under hot water, wipe dry, then slice. Repeat between cuts to keep your slices neat and Instagram-ready.

Recipe Variations

Feeling adventurous? Here are five delightful spins on the classic Dream Cheesecake:

Mint-Chocolate Marvel
Swap out regular Oreos for Mint Oreos. Top with chopped Andes mints and a drizzle of mint-infused ganache for a refreshing twist.
Salted Caramel Sensation
Replace hot fudge with salted caramel sauce and sprinkle flaky sea salt atop the chopped Reese’s. The sweet-salty interplay is pure magic.
Nutella Swirl Delight
Fold ½ cup of Nutella into your cheesecake batter and swirl it with a knife. Top with roasted hazelnuts or Ferrero Rocher pieces for added elegance.
Peanut Butter Lovers’ Dream
Replace half the Cool Whip with whipped peanut butter mousse. Use a graham cracker crust in place of Oreos to lean fully into that classic peanut butter pie vibe.
Berry Bliss
Lighten things up by topping with a fresh berry compote—think raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries. The tart fruit cuts through the richness and adds a pop of color.

Don’t stop there. Swap out the peanut butter cups for Heath bars, chopped Twix, or even mini M&M’s. The world is your dessert playground—get creative!

Ice Cream Duo
Serve alongside a scoop of vanilla bean or salted caramel ice cream. The cold, creamy contrast makes every bite more dynamic.
Coffee Pairing
A strong espresso or a frothy cappuccino balances the sweetness and cleanses the palate between bites.
Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Garnish
Dip strawberries in dark chocolate, chill, and place one or two berries alongside each slice for an upscale finish
