Description
Creamy, dreamy, and loaded with peanut butter goodness, these no-bake cheesecake bars are quick to prepare and perfect for peanut butter lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (200g) graham crackers, crushed
- 6 tablespoons (85g) melted butter
- 16 ounces (450g) softened cream cheese
- 1 cup (250g) smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240g) whipped topping
Instructions
- Crush 2 cups (200g) of graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender. Mix the crumbs with 6 tablespoons (85g) of melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch pan lined with parchment paper. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
- In a mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces (450g) of softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup (250g) of peanut butter, 1 cup (120g) of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup (240g) of whipped topping using a spatula. This keeps the filling light and airy.
- Spread the peanut butter cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for a clean finish.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Slice into bars and enjoy! Optional: drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle crushed peanuts on top.
Notes
Make sure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth blending. Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
