Frozen Peanut Butter Cheesecake

Ingredients

6

tablespoons butter

1 1/2

cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 1/2

cups crispy rice cereal

1

package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1

cup sweetened condensed milk

3/4

cup creamy peanut butter

1

teaspoon vanilla

2

tablespoons lemon juice

1

cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

2

tablespoons hot fudge sauce

2

tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Steps

• 1

  In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips in the microwave for about a minute or until melted. Stir together until combined. Add crispy rice cereal and stir well to coat.
• 2

  Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. You could use a pie pan but I've found that a springform pan is much easier when it comes to removing slices. Place in the freezer to chill while you make the filling (about 10 minutes).
• 3

  In a large bowl beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter and mix until thoroughly combined.
• 4

  Add vanilla and lemon juice and mix until combined.
• 5

  Gently fold in the whipped topping. Pour filling into the prepared crust.
• 6

  Heat fudge and peanut butter in two small separate bowls for 20-30 seconds or until warm. Drizzle over filling.
• 7

  Freeze for 4-6 hours or until pie is firm. Remove the cheesecake from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to make cutting easier. Garnish with peanut butter and chocolate candy bars.
