Description

This easy no-bake Monster Cheesecake combines creamy cream cheese, peanut butter, and a fun mix of mini chocolate chips and M&Ms in a graham cracker crust. Perfectly chilled and topped with chocolate fudge and colorful candies, it’s a delightful treat for any celebration or indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 sleeve graham crackers
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup M&Ms

Topping

  • 1/4 cup chocolate fudge
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for garnishing)
  • 1/4 cup M&Ms (for garnishing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare graham cracker crust: In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until they become fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse again until fully combined. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust layer. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to set.
  2. Make cheesecake batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract, then continue beating until the mixture is uniform and silky.
  3. Add mix-ins: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and M&Ms into the cheesecake batter, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout.
  4. Assemble and chill: Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for 6 to 12 hours or overnight until fully set.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once the cheesecake is firm, drizzle chocolate fudge over the top. Sprinkle the remaining mini chocolate chips and M&Ms as a colorful garnish before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake long enough to ensure it fully sets for easy slicing.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter for a different nutty flavor.
  • The crust can also be made with crushed digestive biscuits if graham crackers are unavailable.
  • Keep the cheesecake refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
