Ingredients
  

For the crust:

24 Nutter Butter cookies, crushed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the topping:

1/2 cup Nutter Butter cookies, crumbled

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Chocolate sauce for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Nutter Butter cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated.

      - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.

        - Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.

          Make the Filling:

            - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

              - Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and beat until well combined and fluffy.

                - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully incorporated.

                  Assemble the Cheesecake:

                    - Pour the peanut butter filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

                      - Tap the pan on the counter gently to remove any air bubbles.

                        - Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

                          Add the Topping:

                            - Once the cheesecake is set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.

                              - Sprinkle the crumbled Nutter Butter cookies and mini chocolate chips evenly over the top.

                                - Drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Slice the cheesecake into wedges using a sharp knife, and serve chilled. Enjoy the delicious combination of peanut butter and cookies!
