Equipment

  • Cake molds or jars or mini muffin tins
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Mixing bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup nilla wafers crushed
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 7 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter or more if you love peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 lb cream cheese softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves

Instructions

To make the crust:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine wafer crumbs and light brown sugar.
  • Stir in the peanut butter and melted butter until a consistent, crumbly texture forms.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the base the cake molds create the crust. Set aside.

To make the cheesecake:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until medium peaks form.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the the softened cream cheese, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Add cream cheese mixture to heavy whipping cream until they are well blended. Stir in the jam. 
  • Spoon or pipe this mixture onto the prepared crusts, filling each cavity almost to the top. Place the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours to set. The longer the better! Once firm, remove them from the tin.
  • Optional: Garnish with crushed Nilla wafers or drizzle jam.

Notes

  • Makes about 2-2/12 dozen cheesecakes, depending on the size of your mold, jar or liner.
