Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake Recipe 🧑‍🍳

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
For the Cheesecake:

4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup smooth peanut butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3 large eggs

For Topping:

1 1/2 cups strawberry topping or preserves, warmed

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
    In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar, and flour until smooth and creamy.
    Add vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.
    Gradually add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    Slowly pour in heavy whipping cream and mix until just combined.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
    Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool completely inside with the door slightly ajar.
  4. Chill and Top:

Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
Before serving, spread warmed strawberry topping or preserves over the top of the cheesecake.

  1. Serve and Enjoy:

Slice and serve this delightful fusion of creamy peanut butter and sweet jelly flavors in a decadent cheesecake form.
