NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

It’s the National Cheesecake Day!!! If you are new to my blog, you may not know that I am a HUGE fan of cheesecake. Our favorites include my Instant Pot Cherry Delight Cheesecake. So gorgeous! It’s my very favorite dessert and also the very first one I learned how to make. It’s the first dessert I served to my Hubby back in the day when we were still dating. It’s the dessert I make for special occasions. If you do not feel like turning on the oven, you will love this no-bake version: creamy, luscious peanut butter filling on a chocolate crust and whipped cream topping. This No-Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake is very easy to make and perfect for your next get-together!

HOW TO MAKE NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE?

  • Prepare the crust and press into 8″ springform pan.
  • Make cheesecake filling in a food processor (the best way to get a smooth texture for no-bake cheesecakes).
  • Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
  • Make whipped cream and spread on top of chilled cheesecake.
  • Slice and serve.

I also used my very favorite chocolate crust. It doesn’t require pre-baking. It has four ingredients (graham crackers, cocoa powder, butter and chocolate) that you mix together, press into the pan and chill. It will harden and it will create the perfect base for the cheesecake filling.

    Has anyone told you your comment form has gotten a little weird? Or maybe it’s just me!

    Haha…about no skinny recipes! I’ve had people come to my blog and be disappointed to find desserts! What the heck? 2/3 of my children love pb desserts and they’re the ones who like cheesecake, too (the other needs to mature his palate ASAP!). I will have to treat them to your gorgeous creation!
