Ingredients

  • Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Unsalted Butter (Melted)
  • Full-Fat Cream Cheese (Softened)
  • Creamy Peanut Butter
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Large Eggs (Room Temperature)
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Sour Cream (Room Temperature)
  • Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs
  • Optional Toppings: Whipped cream, chocolate sauce drizzle, or chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, lightly greasing the tin if desired.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups and press down to form an even layer.
  5. Bake the crusts for 5-7 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened full-fat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar to the cream cheese and beat until well combined.
  8. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  9. Reduce mixer speed to low and add room temperature eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
  10. Gently fold in the room temperature sour cream until just combined.
  11. Spoon the peanut butter cheesecake filling evenly over the baked graham cracker crusts, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  12. Press a whole mini chocolate peanut butter egg into the center of each cup or fold chopped eggs into the batter before filling.
  13. Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes until edges are set but centers still jiggle.
  14. Turn off the oven and prop the door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cups cool in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
  15. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  16. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  17. Carefully lift each cheesecake cup out of the muffin tin using the paper liners.
  18. Add garnishes like whipped cream, melted chocolate, and chopped mini chocolate peanut butter eggs before serving.

Keywords: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent cracks in the cheesecake. You can substitute graham crackers with crushed digestive biscuits or chocolate cookies for a different crust flavor.
