Description
Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Cheesecake Cups are a delightful treat that combines creamy texture with a rich peanut butter flavor, making them a healthier alternative to traditional cheesecake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, based on preference)
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of serving cups to form a crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Once the crust is ready, spoon the peanut butter filling over the crust in each cup. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.
- Cover the cups with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or until the filling is set and firm. Once chilled, they are ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Store any leftover cheesecake cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, use natural peanut butter.
- These cheesecake cups can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
