Make the Crust
- Crush around 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and combine with 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Press into a tart dish and chill for 30 minutes to set.
Prepare the Cheesecake Layer
- In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of softened cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add in 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well, then incorporate 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk powder, and 1 cup of peanut butter. Spoon the filling into the chilled crust.
Make the Ganache
- Combine 8 ounces of chopped dark chocolate with 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Pour over the cheesecake layer and chill for 30 minutes to set.
Whip the Cream
- Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Keep chilled until ready.
Assemble and Decorate
- Spread the whipped cream over the ganache, sprinkle with chopped salted peanuts, and drizzle melted peanut butter chips or chocolate over the top. Finish with mini peanut butter cups.
Serve

Notes
Ensure each layer is adequately chilled before adding the next. Soften cream cheese thoroughly to avoid lumps.
