Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cheesecake

Tara Kringlen
This decadent and ultra creamy chocolate peanut butter no-bake cheesecake is an easy go-to dessert if you need to impress. A creamy chocolate filling sits on top of a crunchy peanut butter filled nutter butter crust. The cheesecake is finished with swirls of creamy peanut butter mousse.

  • Mix in the melted chocolate until combined.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently until no white streaks remain.
