 Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything that goes into this irresistibly smooth peanut butter dessert:
Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (Use smooth, not natural or oily)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
Crust & Topping:
- 1 ready-made graham cracker crust (or homemade if preferred)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips, optional for topping
Want a crunchier topping? Add chopped peanuts, crushed pretzels, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
 How to Make Peanut Butter Cheesecake Without Baking
Step 1: Beat the Cream Cheese & Peanut Butter
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and peanut butter. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat until the mixture is completely smooth and fluffy. This is your rich, nutty base.
Step 2: Add Powdered Sugar & Vanilla
Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue beating until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. The filling should be light, creamy, and not gritty.
Step 3: Fold in Whipped Cream
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the whipped cream. Fold slowly to keep the mixture airy — this step gives your cheesecake that signature no-bake fluffiness.
Do not overmix — you want to preserve the volume of the whipped cream for the best texture.
Step 4: Fill the Crust
Spoon the peanut butter cheesecake mixture into the graham cracker crust. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the top evenly.
Step 5: Add Toppings (Optional)
Sprinkle with chocolate chips, or get creative with a peanut butter drizzle, chocolate shavings, or chopped Reese’s cups for extra indulgence.
Step 6: Chill Until Set
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. For best results, chill overnight to allow the flavors to fully meld and the filling to firm up beautifully.
 Serving Tips
- Serve cold, straight from the fridge for the best texture.

 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
- Fridge: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
