Reeses Peanut Butter Cheesecake

written by parkersplate March 9, 2018
Reeses Peanut Butter Cheesecake
You know this is a ridiculously good dessert when my man, with a sweet tooth the size of Texas, says, "This is incredible, honey, but DO NOT make this for me very often.  I can't stop." bite of cheesecake I know, I know, you're scanning the recipe and see "water bath" and you want to bail.  Don't bail.  Wrap the spring form in heavy duty tin foil (heavy duty works best) and then put that bad boy in the bath and let the low and slow baking work its magic. top of cheesecake I'm not even a sweets person and I wanted to just crush like 3 slices of it.  Even more than my Guilt Free Lemon Cheesecake. Oh, and in full disclosure:  It is NOT low carb.  It is NOT low sugar.  It is NOT low calorie.  It is just freaking delicious.  So there, you have it.  'Nuff said. peanut butter cheesecake

By day, I do cooking segments for TV shows around the country….by night, I’m a culinary goddess who gets her groove on in a kitchen that should have a dang disco ball spinning, there are so many ‘happy dances’ going on at meal time!
