This Nutter Butter Cheesecake is a creamy, peanut butter-flavored dessert featuring a crunchy Nutter Butter cookie crust topped with a smooth cream cheese filling. It’s baked to perfection, combining rich and tangy flavors with the nostalgic taste of Nutter Butter cookies for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 24 Nutter Butter cookies, finely crushed
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed Nutter Butter cookies with the melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually add in the sugar, continuing to beat until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the filling is creamy and smooth.
  3. Assemble and bake: Pour the cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared cookie crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles when shaken gently.
  4. Cool and chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Once cooled, cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and develop flavors.
  5. Serve: Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake and serve it chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Do not overbake; the center should still have a slight jiggle to ensure a creamy texture.
  • If desired, garnish with additional Nutter Butter cookies or chopped peanuts for extra texture.
  • Use a water bath if possible to prevent cracking of the cheesecake during baking.
