These no-bake peanut butter cheesecake bites are creamy, dreamy, and perfect for quick snacks or parties. They combine smooth cream cheese and rich peanut butter in bite-sized treats that require no oven and come together in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 100g)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (45g)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened (225g)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (125g)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (60g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream (30ml)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture looks like wet sand and holds together when pressed (about 3 minutes).
  2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture into each cavity of a silicone mini muffin mold (makes approximately 12 bites). Press down firmly to create an even base. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter until smooth and fully combined (2-3 minutes with an electric mixer).
  4. Gradually add 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Beat until fluffy and well incorporated.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons heavy cream and continue mixing until the filling is light, airy, and spreadable (about 1-2 minutes). Add a splash more cream if mixture is too stiff.
  6. Remove the crust-filled molds from the fridge. Spoon or pipe the peanut butter cheesecake filling over each crust base, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
  7. Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is better) until firm but creamy inside.
  8. Gently pop the cheesecake bites out of the molds. If any stick, run a warm knife around the edges. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Chill bites thoroughly before removing from molds to prevent sticking. For faster setting, freeze for 30 minutes then thaw slightly before serving. Variations include chocolate swirl, salted caramel drizzle, vegan substitutions, and crunchy peanut butter.
