Add Reese mini peanut butter cups cut in halves.
- Put the cream over the crust and level well.
- Ganache:
- Heat whipping cream into a stainless steel pot. Do not boil! Add cut chocolate pieces and let it rest for 2 minutes then stir well with a whisk until well combined and you get a glossy cream.
- Pour chocolate ganache over the cream cheese. It can be warm. Stir with a knife through chocolate and cheese, so it incorporates just a bit.
- Refrigerate approx. 4 hours before serving and then decorate with whipped cream. It makes it fluffier and lighter. Cut pieces of chocolate and the rest of Reese's peanut butter cups. Place them on top of the cake and viola!An awesome, scrumptious, chocolaty and damn creamy cheesecake!
- Enjoy! It is amazing!!!!
