1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
Chocolate sauce (for drizzling on top)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust.
Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
Fold in the whipped cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream, creating a light and airy filling.
Assemble: Pour the peanut butter filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Chill: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes, or until set.
Serve: Once set, release the cheesecake from the pan, drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired, and slice to serve.
