Peanut Butter Cheesecake Squares with Peanut Butter Cookie Crust

Peanut Butter Cheesecake Squares with Peanut Butter Cookie Crust

Peanut butter from top to bottom!  These no bake cheesecake squares are so rich and insanely delicious.  I used a box of Dos I Dos Girl Scout Cookies for the crust, mixed in some chopped Peanut Butter Lover’s Reese’s in the filling, and sprinkled a few peanut butter chips on top. 

Ingredients:

1 box Dos I Dos or other peanut butter cookies

2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil

8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese at room temperature

1/3 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt

¾ cup creamy peanut butter

8 Peanut Butter Lover’s Reese’s chopped up (or other Reese’s variety)

1 cup confectioner’s sugar

2 tablespoons peanut butter chips

Directions:

  1. Spray an 8×8 dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Crush cookies in a food processor. 
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil.  Pour the oil around the food processor.  Pulse to mix.
  4. Press the crust down using a spatula. Place in the fridge while you make the filling.
  5. Add cream cheese, yogurt, and peanut butter to a stand mixer.  Mix on medium.  Scrape down the sides to ensure everything is mixed.
  6. Add confectioner’s sugar and mix in gradually.
  7. Fold in the chopped Reese’s.
  8. Spread the filling out in the baking dish.
  9. Press a few peanut butter chips or more chopped Reese’s on top.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
  11. Store in the refrigerator.
  12. Enjoy with a smile!
