My favorite way to have peanut butter is definitely on cheesecake and this Nutter Butter cheesecake is quite addicting. You will not have just one.
Such an easy to put together recipe but so beautiful and delicious!.
Ingredients
The Crust
- 1 1/2 Cups Nutter Butter Crumbs (No Cream)
- 5 Tbsp Melted Butter
- 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
The Mousse
- 6oz Room Temp Cream Cheese
- 1 1/4 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/3 Cup + 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
- 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter
- 3 Full Size Nutter Butter Cookie Crumns
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cupcake papers in a cupcake tin.
- In a bowl combine the Nutter Butter crumbs, brown sugar and melted butter. Add melted butter and combine. The mixture will be a little wet and crumbly. Place about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of the crumbs into each cupcake cup if you have extra evenly split it between cups and press it down and to the sides until its firm and smooth on the cupcake cup.
- Bake the crumbs for 5 mins. Take out of the oven and allow to cool.
- In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment place the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla and beat on low speed until it starts to mix. When mixture is pretty combined bump the speed up to High and it only takes a couple mins and the mixture will be fluffy and creamy. On a separate small bowl beat your 2 tbsp of peanut butter until it is softer in cinsistency. Next, add the soft peanut butter and 3/4 the Nutter Butter crumbs to you mixture and beat until combined just about 20 seconds.
- With a piping bag pipe onto the crust on the cupcake tin I used a 1M piping tip. Sprinkle on top the rest of the crumbled Nutter Butter cookies.
TIPS
- The cream cheese should only be allowed to room temp for about 30-45 mins depending on the temp of your home. It should be soft but still have a cool temperature. It is important to allow to soften if not it will not mix well and you will have an unpleasant lumpy mixture.
- If you have extra batter you can save it and use it as a dip or enjoy on pancakes!.
- It takes about 1-2 minutes for the mixture to get to its desired consistency. If you over beat it can get a buttery like texture. It needs to be smooth and have medium peaks where its fluffy but you’re able to pipe with the mixture.
