Why This Recipe Works

No-bake cheesecake meets the nostalgic crunch of a wafer cone. The peanut butter filling is light, tangy, and rich, while Reese’s Pieces add bursts of candy shell crunch and deep peanut butter cocoa flavor. By chilling the filled cones upright, the crust stays crisp and the cheesecake sets like a dream — no oven, no water bath, no stress.

  • 16 oz (452 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold

  • ¾ cup Reese’s Pieces, plus extra for topping
