Peanut Butter Frozen Cheesecake
It's the peanut butter and chocolate combo again! I just can't get enough!
How are you all doing? I hope your week has been less hectic than mine. Between marking, lesson planning and writing PowerPoints for each one of my classes (yup, I am one of those teachers..) I have barely had time to sleep, let alone bake anything. Fall is slipping through my fingers, and I barely have the time to enjoy its flavours to their full potential.
Womp womp. #foodbloggerproblems.
But I am forgetting all about pumpkin, apples and cinnamon after one (or two) slices of this mega yummy frozen cheesecake!
I brought this over for dinner with my landlord, and let me tell you. This was a HUGE hit! The reason I only have pictures of one slice of this cheesecake is that my landlord wanted to keep some of the leftovers. Obviously I said that was fine, and to take as much as she wants.
Turns out when you say that, all they leave you with is one slice. Not that I'm complaining. It just shows you how amazingly good this cheesecake is.
And did I mention that it is no bake? I mean just when you thought this cake couldn't get any better, you don't even need to make the effort of turning on your oven.
Using less than 10 ingredients, the hardest part about this recipe is waiting for it to become solid in the freezer. And believe me. That is very hard. Pro tip to make the time go faster: buy extra Reeses peanut butter cups. That should hold you over until the cheesecake is firm.
Another tip: when making this cheesecake to bring to a potluck dinner, make two. One for them, and one for you.

This looks delicious! It has some of my favortie things in it and it is so easy!
No bake AND vegetarian featuring peanut butter and oreos?! Count. me. in! Hah, your landlord must love you bringing over treats like these 😀
I hope you are having a great weekend so far, that is less...hectic perhaps? I feel the same, this Autumn has been insanely busy so far - but 's all good 🙂 x
Goodgolly - that is MADNESS!!! Gosh that looks good - why oh why am I on a 30 day sugar challenge!!! I'm just gonna lick the screen till I can make this!
The ice cream place in town used to make a frozen cheesecake similar to this, but they stopped selling it. This looks ten times better I have to try it!
Nice article, thank you for the sharingarronNREC

Gawd....that's looks scrumptious! If you brought it to my house, I will not allow you to take back any leftovers. How's that for selfishness and greediness? Hah!
