Peanut Butter Cookie Crusted Jelly Swirled Cheesecake Bites
- 1 cup Creamy Or Crunchy Peanut Butter
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar, Divided
- 2 whole Eggs, Beaten, Divided
- 8 ounces, weight Softened Cream Cheese
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla
- 1/4 cups Strawberry Jelly Or Jam Warmed In Microwave For 20 Seconds
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray each section of a 12-count mini-cheesecake pan well with cooking spray. Beat peanut butter and 1/2 cup sugar until well combined in a bowl. Stir in 1 beaten egg until well combined. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each tin of the mini cheesecake pan and press down slightly.
- 2. In a stand or electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar until smooth. Add in the remaining egg and the vanilla until combined. Pour cream cheese mixture over peanut butter layer, about 3/4 way full. Scoop a small 1/2 teaspoon of warmed jelly over the top of each cheesecake layer. Take a toothpick and gently swirl the jelly into the cream cheese layer. Bake for 28-33 minutes or until cheesecake is cooked through and doesn't jiggle. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes. Loosen edges with a plastic knife (very important), otherwise cakes will be very difficult to remove from the pan!
- 3. Mix powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth and of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cheesecakes and serve room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
- Makes 12 cheesecake bites.
