Cheesecake Factory Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple: Price & Calories (2026)
The tightest price range of any cheesecake post here belongs to Cheesecake Factory Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple: $11.50 to $12.95 a slice, 1,250 calories. It is the peanut butter cheesecake for people who want the candy in the cheesecake itself, not layered into a cake: creamy cheesecake swirled with caramel, peanut butter, Butterfinger and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. That swirl is the whole idea, and it is also what separates this slice from its twin on the menu, the Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake, which is a different cake at 1,510 calories. The price sits between the Original slice and the Oreo Dream Extreme slice, and the toppings work the same way as every other slice: A La Mode or Hot Fudge, each for $2.50 extra.
Slice prices come from official location menus; the nutrition figures come from the brand's published guide.
What is Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple?
Creamy Cheesecake Swirled with Caramel, Peanut Butter, Butterfinger and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The official wording leaves nothing out, and it tells you exactly how the slice eats. The cheesecake base is creamy, not dense in the baked-New-York way, and the swirl runs through it rather than sitting on top: caramel and peanut butter ripple the filling, and two candies do the texture work. Butterfinger brings the crisp, flaky crunch, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups bring the soft peanut butter center. Neither candy is a garnish sprinkled on at the end; both are swirled in, so every forkful carries some of each. That is the difference between this slice and a plain cheesecake with candy on top, and it is why the slice eats richer than its 1,250 calories suggest. It is a dessert built for people who already like peanut butter candy, not a subtle cheesecake with a hint of peanut.
How much does a slice cost?
Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple costs $11.50 to $12.95 a slice, with a median of $12.50 across 50 official location menus. That range is only $1.45 wide, the tightest slice range of the three cheesecake slices with their own posts on this site: the Original runs $9.95 to $11.50 and the Oreo Dream Extreme runs $11.95 to $13.50, both $1.55 wide. In practice that means most locations land close to the $12.50 median, and the surprise at the counter is small. The toppings are priced the same as every other slice, so the only decision at the table is whether the slice alone is enough or the extras are worth it.

What about the whole cake?
No whole-cake price is published on this page, because no official US dine-in price was verified for it. A 10-inch whole Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple cake does exist, and it is the obvious order for a celebration table, but what this page does not do is guess its price. You will see whole-cake prices quoted online, but those come from third-party guides and delivery listings, not from verified official menus, and they disagree with each other, so publishing one here would mean guessing. The verified figure is the slice: $11.50 to $12.95. If you need a whole cake, ask your restaurant directly for its price, since whole-cake pricing varies by location just like slice pricing does, and the restaurant's answer is the only one that counts at the counter.
Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple calories and full nutrition
One slice has 1,250 calories, according to the official Summer 2026 nutrition guide (Cheesecakes section). The full breakdown:
| Nutrient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Calories | 1,250 |
| Calories from fat | 740 |
| Total fat | 82g |
| Saturated fat | 43g |
| Trans fat | 2g |
| Cholesterol | 245mg |
| Sodium | 750mg |
| Carbohydrates | 118g |
| Fiber | 5g |
| Sugar | 94g |
| Protein | 18g |
Sugar first: 94g, which is where most of the sweetness lives. Caramel plus peanut butter plus two candies will do that, and it is the reason this slice is a special-occasion order rather than an everyday one. Protein second: 18g, the peanut butter doing real work, which is also why the slice feels more filling than a fruit-topped slice at a similar price. Compared with the Original slice at 830 calories, Adam's is 420 heavier, and compared with the Oreo Dream Extreme slice at 1,510, it is 260 lighter. The same guide table covers the rest of the menu on our nutrition page.
Adam's vs Reese's: which peanut butter cheesecake should you pick?
They are two different cakes, and the names are close enough to mix up. Adam's is the swirled one: creamy cheesecake with caramel, peanut butter, Butterfinger and Reese's cups running through it, at 1,250 calories a slice. Reese's Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake is the layered one: Reese's cups in Original cheesecake with layers of fudge cake and caramel, at 1,510 calories a slice. The difference is not just the 260 calories. Adam's is a cheesecake first, with candy swirled in. Reese's is a cheesecake and a chocolate cake at once, with the fudge cake layers making it heavier and more chocolate-forward. Pick Adam's if you want the peanut butter candy flavor in a cheesecake that still tastes like cheesecake, and if the lighter slice matters. Pick Reese's if you want the full chocolate-cake experience and do not mind the extra 260 calories. If you only remember one thing, remember this: the slice with "Fudge Ripple" in the name is the swirled one, and the slice with "Chocolate Cake" in the name is the layered one.
| Adam's | Reese's | |
|---|---|---|
| Build | Swirled through creamy cheesecake | Layered with fudge cake |
| Candy | Butterfinger and Reese's cups | Reese's cups |
| Calories per slice | 1,250 | 1,510 |
| Slice price | $11.50–$12.95 | Not covered on this page |
A La Mode or Hot Fudge: what do the toppings add?
Yes, both, at the same $2.50 each as every other slice. A La Mode adds a scoop of ice cream, 400 calories and $2.50, taking the slice to 1,650 calories. Hot Fudge adds 280 calories and $2.50, taking it to 1,530. The honest take: this slice does not need either. It already carries caramel, peanut butter and two candies, so Hot Fudge mostly adds more of what is already there, and ice cream mostly cools a slice that is already rich. If you order one, order it because you want the temperature contrast or the extra chocolate, not because the slice feels unfinished without it. Either way, the topping price is fixed at $2.50, so the only thing that changes with your location is the slice price underneath it.
Is it safe for a peanut allergy? Is it gluten-free?
No to both, and on the peanut question the answer is absolute. Per the brand's allergen listing, Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple contains milk, egg, peanut, gluten and soy, and cheesecakes are processed in a plant that also handles peanuts, treenuts and coconut. This is not a dish where you ask the kitchen to leave the peanuts out, because peanuts are the point: peanut butter in the swirl, Reese's cups in the filling, Butterfinger in the crunch. If anyone at the table has a peanut allergy, this slice is off the table entirely, and the Reese's cake is too, since both are peanut cakes. On gluten, the crust and the candy inclusions rule it out as well. If you have an allergy of any kind, confirm with your server before ordering, but for peanut and gluten the listing already settles it. The rest of the menu's allergy picture is on our allergen page.

Creamy cheesecake swirled with caramel, peanut butter, Butterfinger and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, word for word from the brand's menu.

No to both. It contains peanut, gluten, milk, egg and soy, and cheesecakes are processed in a plant that also handles peanuts, treenuts and coconut. For any allergy, your server's answer beats this page, because the plant handles peanuts, treenuts and coconut alongside the cheesecakes.

Should you order Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple?
This slice earns its place when the table wants peanut butter candy inside the cheesecake rather than on top of it, when the choice is between the two peanut cakes and the lighter, swirled one wins, and when 94g of sugar for a celebration slice does not bother anyone. It is the right pick for a peanut butter lover's birthday table, and for anyone who found the Oreo slice too heavy but the Original slice too plain. Pass on it when anyone at the table has a peanut allergy, full stop, and when gluten-free is a requirement. Pass too when the mood is actually something light: the Original slice at 830 calories is the lightest cheesecake on the menu and a better fit there, and it leaves room for toppings without crossing 1,250.
