Introduction

Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake Bites are a delightful twist on the classic childhood favorite. These mini treats combine a buttery almond crust with creamy peanut butter cheesecake and a touch of sweet raspberry jelly. Perfect for an easy dessert or snack, they’re sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Three mini cheesecakes are stacked on top of each other on a white marbled surface. Each cheesecake has two layers: a bottom crumbly golden brown crust and a thicker pale yellow creamy layer above it with swirls of dark red raspberry sauce mixed in. The top cheesecake has a bite taken out of it, revealing the smooth creamy texture inside with the raspberry swirl more visible. Around the stack, small bright red raspberries are scattered. In the background, a white plate with more cheesecakes and a purple cloth are slightly blurred. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
6 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 teaspoons raspberry jelly

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 6-cup muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a bowl, combine almond flour, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
Step 3: Divide the crust mixture evenly among the muffin cups. Press it firmly into the bottom of each cup to form a crust about 1/4 inch thick. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the peanut butter, powdered sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is creamy.
Step 5: Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly over the cooled crusts in the muffin tin. Bake again for 18 to 20 minutes, until the cheesecakes are set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Step 6: Once cool, top each cheesecake bite with 1 teaspoon of raspberry jelly for the classic PB&J flavor. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For a crunchier crust, you can add finely chopped nuts to the almond flour mixture.
Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet, more robust flavor.
Swap out raspberry jelly for strawberry or grape jelly to suit your taste.
Make these bites ahead of time and refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors meld.

Storage

Store the cheesecake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They can be enjoyed cold or brought to room temperature before serving. To reheat, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes; avoid microwaving to maintain texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour for the crust?

You can substitute almond flour with all-purpose flour, but keep in mind it will alter the texture and flavor slightly, making the crust less nutty and potentially denser.

Is it possible to make these cheesecake bites dairy-free?

Yes, you can use dairy-free cream cheese alternatives and a plant-based butter to create a vegan-friendly version. Just ensure the peanut butter and jelly used are also free from animal products.
