Peanut Butter Cheesecake Cups Recipe

  • Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • Cheesecake:
  • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • Ganache:
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shaved dark chocolate
  1. Line 10 muffin cups with paper liners.
  2. Stir cookie crumbs and butter together in a bowl; press into the prepared muffin cups. Refrigerate chocolate crusts until chilled, about 15 minutes.
  3. Beat peanut butter, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Spoon peanut mixture over the chocolate crusts; refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Pour cream into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave until just before boiling, about 2 minutes. Stir chocolate into cream to melt. Refrigerate ganache until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
  5. Beat ganache using an electric mixer until whipped; spread evenly over peanut butter mixture layer.
  6. Freeze cheesecakes until solid, about 1 hour.
