Reese's Cheesecake! Yum!

Okay, for starters, I am SO sorry this post has been slow, school started back up, it's been CRAZY, and to top it off MY laptop decided to basically become useless so I am on my dear brothers (thank you!) since he has a different computer with him. I don't exactly like this laptop but it WORKS, so, I am using it and am finally gonna post! So here is some awesome cheesecake! A combo of two yummy things, my favorite candy, Reese's and an amazing dessert, cheesecake, YUM!

Okay so, this cannot come as a surprise to you, but I found the recipe on pinterest. Here is the original, I kind of....yeah went my own way with some of this, but hey, it turned out fine! WARNING: This makes 2 pie's, cut the recipe in half to get one.

Step 1: Gather all of the ingredients: Chocolate pie crust (x2), 2 lbs cream cheese softened, 5 eggs at room temp, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed), 1 cup smooth peanut butter (NOT natural-style), 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 cup whipping cream, and 12 reese's cups.

Step 2: Make the filling:

Beat the cream cheese until fluffy, no really, do this. It make seem stupid, but do it, it really does help.
Next, add one egg at a time, mixing well after each.
Add the brown sugar, peanut butter and whipping cream, mix well.
Stir in the vanilla and then fold the peanut butter cups in with a rubber spatula.

Step 3: Pour into crust pans, now the fun part....

Step 4: Get out a cookie sheet and fill with water about half way up (The pan MUST have a lip to it) and then place the pies in the water.

Step 5: Bake at 275 degrees for about an hour and a half, check it after an hour though just to make sure all goes well. It should be lightly golden on top and firm.

Step 6: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. I did it over night.

Step 7: Decorate, I personally did this : Drizzled chocalte syrup on the plate, then placed a slice on it. Then drizzled more on top and cut up a reese's cup and put it on top.

Okay, no new post until later this month early next because I am going to be planning and making a major cake! I will try and do pics of how to make some of the things, maybe, if people want to, I can maybe do a video? I don't know, I will decide by then. Make sure to check out my facebook page!
