Peanut Butter Brownie No-Bake Cheesecake is a chocolate and peanut butter lover’s dream come true, topped off with my 10-minute Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce.
My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, I’ve curated a list of products I use and love.
Anytime I make a no-bake cheesecake, you know it is because I am celebrating something. And this weekend we had a lot to celebrate. My sister and I ran in the Colfax ½ Marathon, and I celebrated because I didn’t die. You see, she was training for the full marathon with one of her friends, Shannon, and 26.2 miles just isn’t my thing. But due to an old knee injury flaring up, she had to run the ½ marathon.
I decided about three weeks ago to support her and run with her. While I have run a half marathon before, I trained a ton. This time, I only got two decent runs in of 7 and 9 miles before the big race, so I was a little worried. But we rocked it, and it was so much fun. No blisters, either! Yahoo.
We also celebrated our best friend Molly’s coming to town. I say ours because she was my husband’s friend when we met, but then I kind of stole her. It was nice to be able to catch up on her birthday weekend and celebrate the monumental 25 years + 10 with her. Happy Birthday, Momo! We love you.
And then how can we not celebrate the last couple of weeks of school and the approaching summer? Yahoo. Now, for the summer countdown to begin!!!
Cheers to races, friends, and summer!

Peanut Butter & Brownie No-Bake Cheesecake
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Brownie Cheesecake
- 1 Double Chocolate Ghirardelli’s brownie mix
- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 cups frozen non-dairy whipped topping thawed
Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
Peanut Butter Brownie Cheesecake
- Prepare an 8-inch spring form pan, otherwise known as a cheesecake pan, by spraying with cooking oil. Make brownies according to package directions. Remove brownies from oven and cool completely.
- Once brownies are completely cool make the Peanut Butter No-Bake Cheesecake.
- Beat together cream cheese, sugar, peanut butter and butter in large bowl on medium speed until smooth and creamy. I used my KitchenAid mixer for this. Then fold in whipped topping until blended, I get a little inpatient and usually start to beat it and it still tastes great.
- Spread on top of cooled brownies.
- Place in the refrigerator until firm and set 30-60 minutes.
Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce
- About 20 minute before you are ready to serve, make the Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce. *You can make this in advance and store in the refrigerator and heat to warm when you are ready to use.
- Combine all ingredients, except the vanilla in a medium saucepan cook on medium heat while stirring constantly. Cook until bubbly, approximately 5-6 minutes. Sauce should be smooth and creamy, with no sugar granules left.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let sit for at least 3-5 minutes, allowing it too cool and thicken.
- Cut the cheesecake into slices and serve, drizzle with Peanut Butter Hot Fudge Sauce.
