- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just beginning to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips in a heatproof bowl.
- Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir gently until the ganache is smooth, glossy, and pourable. Allow it to cool slightly before pouring.
6. Finish and Serve:
- Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake, letting it spread to the edges or drip slightly down the sides. Top with remaining chopped Reese’s cups for decoration.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce for added sweetness and shine. Add whipped cream if desired just before serving.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. For cleaner slices, use a warm knife, wiping between cuts.
