Ingredients
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Peanut butter (smooth)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Mini peanut butter cups (chopped, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Step 3
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into each muffin cup. Press down firmly to create an even layer for the crust. Set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 5
Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and continue mixing until fully combined.
Step 6
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Then, slowly mix in the heavy cream until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
Step 7
Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each one almost to the top.
Step 8
Bake the mini cheesecakes in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the centers are just set and slightly jiggly.
Step 9
Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature in the pan. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
Step 10
Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with chopped mini peanut butter cups for garnish.
Step 11
Serve chilled and enjoy!
