No Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake

No Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake

I finally got around to posting a recipe that is truly my all~time, most favoritest ever food in the whole wide world…cheesecake.  My eyes light up at the mere mention of the word.  This is one dessert that I savor with every single bite.  Anything with cream cheese is a winner in my book.  But a dessert with it is absolute perfection. If you have read any of my previous posts, I do believe I may, or may not have mentioned my love for it.  Several times perhaps.  And there may, or may not be a long~standing rumor circulating in my family that I possibly MAY have eaten a whole cheesecake…by myself…in one evening.  I cannot confirm nor deny said rumor.  Lets just say, if it IS true, then it would not have been one of those picture perfect, mile~high extremely dense cheesecakes (the best type known to mankind).  Nope.  It probably would have been more along the lines of a lighter version.  If it really ever happened to begin with…

This recipe is amazing for many reasons.  One being that you do not need to turn the oven on.  Two, it’s quite dense like a baked cheesecake.  Three, it’s super easy.  Four, it’s delicious!  Peanut butter and cream cheese is a marriage made in Heaven, and the Oreo cookie crust just rounds it out beautifully.  So much fun stuff going on in one bite…creamy, tangy, peanut buttery, sweet and chocolatey goodness.  How on earth could it get any better!  There’s really nothing like a true bake~in~your~oven cheesecake, but when you don’t have the time, or do not want to take the time for that, this is the perfect dessert!  It did not last long in our house when I made it, and no, I did not eat the whole thing…in one evening…all by myself…or did I…….enjoy!!!

Sláinte!
