Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter or crunchy
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg beaten
8 oz cream cheese softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup strawberry jelly or jam, warmed in the microwave for 20 seconds

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat peanut butter and sugar until well combined in a bowl. Stir in egg until well combined. Scoop a heaping Tablespoon into the bottoms of a mini cheesecake pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray, press down slightly.
In a stand or electric mixer beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in egg and vanilla until combined. Pour cream cheese mixture over peanut butter layer, about 3/4 way full.
Scoop a small 1/2 teaspoon of warmed jelly over top of each cheesecake layer. Take a toothpick and gently swirl into cream cheese layer.
Bake for 28-33 minutes or until cheesecake is cooked through, doesn’t jiggle. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes, loosen edges with plastic knife (very important) otherwise cakes will be very difficult to remove from pan!
Mix powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth and drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cheesecakes and serve room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
