Sara Lee Original Cheesecake and Cool Whip make this dessert so easy to prepare. Keeping a Sara Lee dessert and Cool Whip Whipped Topping in your freezer is the perfect way to be prepared for easy entertaining or snacking at any time. I picked these two ingredients up along with the other few ingredients needed for this cheesecake at my local Kroger store. All you need is six ingredients and 15 minutes to make this indulgent dessert. So easy! You can find Sara Lee Desserts and Cool Whip Whipped Topping products in the frozen foods section at your local Kroger.

 Remove the cheesecake from the container and place it on the platter or cake stand you plan on serving it on. After you mix up a yummy peanut butter whipped topping using the Cool Whip, spread it onto the cheesecake.

 The creamy chocolate ganache goes on after the peanut butter whipped topping. The beauty of this step is that it requires zero spreading. All you need to do is pour and let the ganache spread itself all around.

 Then top it with a mountain of peanut butter cups. This cheesecake looks like it came from a display cabinet in a bakery when it only takes 15 minutes to prepare at home. A perfect dessert to serve on Mother’s Day!
