Description
Delightful mini cheesecakes infused with creamy peanut butter and topped with mini peanut butter cups, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 12 mini peanut butter cups, chopped
- Whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix them well and then press the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to create the crust.
- Beat together the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the chopped mini peanut butter cups, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the crusts in the muffin tin, filling each liner about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, keeping an eye out for a perfect set; they should be firm but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool them down, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set nicely.
- Serve topped with whipped cream and extra mini peanut butter cups if desired!
Notes
For an extra special treat, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce before serving.
