These creamy no-bake peanut butter cheesecake bites are quick, fuss-free, and perfect for parties. They combine a rich peanut butter flavor with a smooth cream cheese filling and a crunchy crust base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of cinnamon or sea salt (optional)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, cold
  • Chopped peanuts or roasted peanuts (optional, for topping)
  • Mini chocolate chips or melted chocolate (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup graham cracker crumbs with 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter and a pinch of cinnamon or salt if using. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and hold together when pressed (about 3 minutes).
  2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture into each cavity of a mini muffin tin or silicone mold. Press down firmly to create a compact base. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and well combined (2-3 minutes with an electric mixer).
  4. Mix in 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until incorporated and thick but creamy.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form (3-4 minutes on medium-high speed).
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture using a spatula, keeping the mixture airy and creamy (about 2 minutes).
  7. Spoon the filling on top of the chilled crust bases, filling each cavity nearly to the top. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or small offset spatula.
  8. Place the tin or molds in the fridge for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake bites to firm up.
  9. Just before serving, sprinkle chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips on top, or drizzle with melted chocolate if desired.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps. Fold whipped cream gently to keep the texture light and airy. Chill bites overnight for best texture. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Store refrigerated and consume within 3 days. Can freeze and thaw overnight before serving.
