Tips:

  • Use high-quality peanut butter: The type of peanut butter you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your cheesecake cups. Look for a natural peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
  • Soften the cream cheese: Before you start mixing the cheesecake batter, be sure to soften the cream cheese to room temperature. This will help it blend smoothly and prevent lumps in your cheesecake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cheesecake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the cheesecake cups before serving: After you have baked the cheesecake cups, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help them set and firm up.
