Description

A delicious raspberry peanut butter cheesecake that is creamy and rich, topped with a raspberry sauce and garnished with fresh raspberries and roasted peanuts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.

  2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in the sour cream until fully incorporated.

  3. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the peanut butter cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, until the center is set. Remove the cheesecake and let it cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

  4. Prepare the Raspberry Topping: In a small saucepan, heat the raspberry jam and lemon juice over low heat until it becomes a smooth sauce. Let it cool slightly.

  5. Decorate: Spread the raspberry sauce evenly over the top of the chilled cheesecake. Garnish with fresh raspberries and roasted peanuts around the edge.

Notes

  • To prevent cracking, bake the cheesecake in a water bath by placing the springform pan in a larger roasting pan filled with hot water.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling.
  • Carefully fold in the eggs to maintain the creamy texture.
