Notes
Tips
- Softened cream cheese blends much more easily and helps create a silky smooth cheesecake filling.
- A firmly packed crust helps keep everything together when serving.
- Traditional creamy peanut butter works best for achieving a smooth cheesecake filling. I don't recommend all-natural peanut butter.
- While four hours is enough, overnight chilling gives the cheesecakes the best texture and flavor.
