Ingredients
For the Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
For the Luxurious Peanut Butter Filling:
4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup smooth peanut butter
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
3 large eggs
For the Vibrant Jelly Swirl:
1 ½ cups strawberry topping or preserves, warmed
Instructions
- Craft the Foundation: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, press into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 15 minutes and let cool.
- Whip Up the Dreamy Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add peanut butter, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract; mix well. Gradually mix in heavy whipping cream and eggs, one at a time.
- Assemble for Elegance: Pour peanut butter filling over the cooled crust. Swirl warmed strawberry topping over the filling, then gently swirl with a spoon.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake on a baking sheet for 60-70 minutes, until the center is slightly set. Let cool in the oven with the door ajar, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve and Savor: Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve.
Notes
For a smoother texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
To prevent cracks, avoid overmixing and bake at a low temperature.
