Popular Questions
Can I make this no-bake?
Yes, skip the baking step and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours or until firm. However, the texture will be softer and creamier.
Can I use natural peanut butter cups?
Absolutely! Just ensure they’re chopped and evenly distributed to avoid clumping.
How can I make this less sweet?
Reduce the white chocolate to 200g and sugar to 75g for a more balanced flavor.
