Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crust:

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- For the Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling. - Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined and smooth. - Whip the Cream:
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined and smooth. - Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour the filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is set. - Add the Topping (optional):
Before serving, drizzle the melted peanut butter over the top of the cheesecake. Garnish with whipped cream and chopped peanuts, if desired. - Serve:
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into wedges. Enjoy!
