Description
A rich and creamy cheesecake combining the smoothness of cream cheese with the rich taste of peanut butter, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.

- Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for one hour.
- Remove from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth texture. For variation, add a layer of chocolate ganache on top.
