Ingredients

Scale
  • 2.25 cups Oreo Crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • 32 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 0.5 cup Light Brown Sugar (packed)
  • 0.75 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 0.5 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 0.5 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 4 Large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1.5 cups Butterfinger Bars (chopped)
  • 0.5 cup Candied Bacon (chopped)
  • 0.5 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 0.5 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 0.5 cup Chopped Butterfingers
  • 0.5 cup Candied Bacon
  • 0.25 cup Caramel Dessert Sauce

Instructions

  1. Press and Pre-Bake the Oreo Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Wrap a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil, grease the sides, and press the Oreo crumbs and butter into the pan. Bake for 8 minutes.
  2. Whip the Loaded Cream Filling: Beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then fold in the remaining ingredients. Pour over the crust.
  3. Place your foil-wrapped pan in a larger roasting pan; pour hot water into the roasting pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  4. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 30 minutes, then allow to rest for another 30 minutes with the door cracked open.
  5. Release the chilled cake from the pan. For the ganache, heat cream and pour over chocolate chips and peanut butter; whisk until smooth. Pour over the cake and garnish.

Notes

Use gluten-free Oreos for a gluten-free option. Store in the fridge covered to maintain freshness.
