Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter No-Bake Cheesecake Cups are a perfect dessert for a Valentine’s Day in with your sweetie or to be shared with friends.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter No-Bake Cheesecake Cups are a perfect dessert for a Valentine's Day in with your sweetie or to be shared with friends

I can’t remember the last time we actually left the house and went out for Valentine’s Day.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter No-Bake Cheesecake Cups are a perfect dessert for a Valentine's Day in with your sweetie or to be shared with friends

I can’t imagine why.  I mean, what could possibly be more romantic than fighting for space in a crowded restaurant that you waited more than 20 minutes past your reservation time to be seated, get rushed through your meal to make room for the next group of Hallmark inspired diners, only to be presented with a $300 bill at the end of the whole ordeal.


In all honesty, we used to go out for Valentine’s Day.  Our transition to staying in didn’t happen because we planned it to.  We actually ended up here because of our lack of planning and the stress of unsuccessfully trying to make last minute reservations.

It’s now become a tradition and expectation to stay home.  The reality is that you don’t need a holiday or an expensive night out to celebrate with your sweetie.  Grab a couple of nice steaks or some giant scallops and lobster tails, open a bottle of wine, light a fire, and stay home this year.  You might start a new tradition and your bank account will thank you.

Scroll below the recipe for a list of wonderful recipes to make for a romantic night in.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter No-Bake Cheesecake Cups

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons chocolate peanut butter porter
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup graham crumbs
  • 2 cups whipped cream
  • Raspberries or other fruit for topping

Instructions

  1. Beat all ingredients except beer until smooth
  2. Add beer and beat until incorporated
  3. Transfer to a Ziplock or pastry bag and refrigerate overnight
  4. Spoon graham crumbs into cups
  5. Snip off end of bag containing cheesecake filling and fill 2 cups (or 4 smaller) then finish with whipped cream
  6. Top with berries

NOTES:

  1. This will make 2 large or 4 small desserts
  2. I used a chocolate peanut butter porter, but another dessert/chocolate flavored beer would work
  3. Use as much or as little graham and whipped cream as desired

    I am so with you! We never go out for Valentine’s Day bc it’s so much more relaxing to chill out at home. Same for New Year’s Eve! Lame! Hubby would love these and he deserves a treat. Cheers!

    So true! So much better (taste wise and price wise) to stay home for Valentine’s Day. Plus, you get to stay in in comfy clothes, which is always a good thing 🙂 And if I had these dessert to boot I would be one happy girl! Pinned! Happy Valentine’s Day, girlie! XO

    We always stay home too Rachelle, and I totally prefer it that way! Nice and quiet and romantic. I’m a huge fan of no bake cheesecakes and can’t wait to try your version! I’ll definitely need to get my hands on some of that chocolate peanut butter porter! My Valentine would love these!

    Hahahahaha! We don’t go out either! And you already KNOW I plan on getting lobster tails. lol. Plus when you stay home you can stay in your jammies.. and we all know I’m a huge fan of that! I’m going to have to grab some chocolate peanut butter porter, because these cups are off the hook, Rach! Love that they are no bake, because hello I’m lazy. 😉 Pinned! Cheers, sweets! xoxoxo

    These are absolutely perfect! They have all my favourite words in there – chocolate. peanut butter. cheesecake. no-bake 🙂 Love it! And I’m with you. There is not restaurant experience that can compete with a bottle of wine and company in the kitchen.

    Yay for staying in and cooking for Valentine’s Day! Our story mirrors yours, only we’ve been married 36 years, so we’ve probably been at it a little longer 😉 A good bottle of wine, great food, and quiet conversation beats the crowds at a restaurant any day!

    I love chocolate and peanut butter together, and these look perfect! Pinned…

    Love the dessert! I couldn’t agree more, going out is overrated. Usually we have a dinner for four, and this peanut butter chocolate bliss is perfect for this next occasion. Love the photography!

    I couldn’t agree more about Valentine’s Day, Rachelle! The food is overpriced (and often not as good as other nights anyways…), and then you have to deal with the crowds. I love the idea of staying in…and these cheesecake cups sound like the perfect way to celebrate! I’ll just have to keep Robbie from sticking his hand into the glass. (Because I can definitely see that happening once he spots one of these…haha.) Great photos, by the way!

    Now that you put it that way. . .why would I want to go out for Valentines?!! Perhaps it’s better to celebrate Valentines Day the day after. Do you think the restaurants will be more low key? Probably not. . .well. . .at least not in Boston.

    Of course, why would you want to go out when you can snuggle up to a couple of these beauties? BTW. . .I had to look up what Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter was. Can you tell I’m not a beer drinker? And, I’ve never made a cheesecake with beer in it either. . .but now I am intrigued.

    We always stay home for Valentine’s Day too. I’d rather save my going out to dinner for a night that’s not so crazy! We do plan a special dinner…for 5! The kids get to join us for a nice romantic dinner! Okay, it’s really just a nice dinner. These no-bake cheesecake cups would be a hit with my family!

    Yay to cups and staying home!! Love this recipe and what an awesome recipe roundup too! Your recipe couldn’t have come at a better time for me. You won’t believe it, but I have a growler of FLAT chocolate peanut butter stout in my refrigerator. We accidentally forgot about it and J said don’t worry cos we can make something out of it. Do you think I could substitute it for the porter in this and is it okay to use if it’s flat?

      You are hilarious, K! I can’t believe you forgot about a growler of chocolate peanut butter anything! I don’t know what in the world you have forgotten about in your fridge, but you should be able to use your old flat stout. You may need to adjust the sugar depending on the profile of your beer though.

    We stay home if Valentine’s Day is on a weekday, else we go out. So this time we are gonna stay at home and will have some romantic dinner at home. These cheesecake cups look adorably YUM. Love the fact that you have combined chocolate and peanut butter.

    Hi Rachelle

    We don’t ever go out for dinner on Valentines. We just feel that they set up this glorified date to get more customers to restaurants. We get each other gifts, but that’s it.

    Your cheesecake cups looks a treat. Love cheesecake, peanut butter, and chocolate.
