Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • CHEESECAKE LAYER:
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jelly, warmed
  • OPTIONAL DRIZZLE:
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, beat peanut butter and sugar until blended. Beat in egg. Press 2 teaspoons mixture into each of 32 paper-lined mini-muffin cups.
  2. For cheesecake layer, in another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Spoon a scant 2 teaspoons cream cheese mixture into each cup. Drop jelly by 1/4 teaspoonfuls over tops. Cut through batter with a toothpick to swirl.
  3. Bake 12-14 minutes or until centers are set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. If desired, mix confectioners' sugar and enough cream to reach desired consistency; drizzle over cheesecakes. Refrigerate until serving.

Test Kitchen Tips
  • You can reduce the fat and sugar content in this recipe by substituting cream cheese for reduced-fat cream cheese.
  • This recipe is flexible, so try it with different juices and jams that you have on hand. Orange juice and marmalade would also work deliciously here! Apple jelly is also a great stand-in.
  • These peanut butter sandwich ideas are so genius you just have to try them.
