Attention Peanut Butter Lovers!!! This one’s for you! My Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Cheesecake is the smooth peanut butter deliciousness you dream about!

This Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Cheesecake is proof that even mistakes can turn out absolutely delicious and beautiful. Yup, you read that right. This recipe came about totally by mistake. I was actually making something else and wasn’t paying close attention to the recipe causing some ingredient mistakes. Not wanting to waste ingredients and throw out my mistake I got creative and this was the result. How pretty is this peanut butter cheesecake!?! It is a creamy melt in your mouth peanut butter cheesecake with a nutter butter crust, drizzled with peanut butter ganache and topped with nutter butter halves! You’ve got to try it!!!

Preheat your oven and prepare the crust. If you are using a dark non-stick springform pan like mine above you will preheat to 300 degrees. If you are using a silver shiny springform pan preheat your oven to 325 degrees. I pressed my nutter butter crust into a 9 inch springform pan.

Follow the instructions below to make the peanut butter cheesecake filling and spread it evenly over the crust. Bake in your preheated oven. After baking let it cool for a couple hours on a cooling rack then chill it in the fridge for several hours or overnight. You can either drizzle the entire cheesecake with the peanut butter ganache or you can drizzle each individual slice.
