Description

These Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake Bites are a delightful twist on a classic favorite. Featuring a buttery almond flour crust, a creamy peanut butter cheesecake filling, and a hint of raspberry jelly, these bite-sized treats are perfect for snacking or serving at parties. Baked to perfection in a muffin tin, they offer a rich and satisfying flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Cheesecake Filling

  • 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

Topping

  • 6 teaspoons raspberry jelly

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Crust: Combine almond flour, powdered sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add melted butter and stir until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
  3. Form and Bake Crusts: Divide the crust mixture evenly among the 6 muffin cups. Press the mixture down flat at the bottom, forming a cup shape about 1/4 inch thick. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Make Cheesecake Batter: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, peanut butter, egg, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly to combine until the batter is smooth.
  5. Assemble and Bake Cheesecake Bites: Pour the cheesecake batter evenly on top of each cooled crust. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until set.
  6. Cool Completely: Remove the cheesecake bites from the oven and let them cool completely, approximately 30 minutes.
  7. Add Jelly Topping: Once cooled, spoon a teaspoon of raspberry jelly onto each cheesecake bite for the classic peanut butter and jelly flavor finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Allow bites to cool completely before adding jelly to prevent melting and ensure the jelly stays in place.
  • For easier removal, you can line the muffin tin with paper liners or use a silicone muffin tray.
  • Store leftover bites in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
