Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
CHEESECAKE LAYER:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup strawberry jelly, warmed
OPTIONAL DRIZZLE:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, beat peanut butter and sugar until blended. Beat in egg. Press 2 teaspoons mixture into each of 32 paper-lined mini-muffin cups.
For cheesecake layer, in another bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Spoon a scant 2 teaspoons cream cheese mixture into each cup. Drop jelly by 1/4 teaspoonfuls over tops. Cut through batter with a toothpick to swirl.
Bake 12-14 minutes or until centers are set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
If desired, mix confectioners' sugar and enough cream to reach desired consistency; drizzle over cheesecakes. Refrigerate until serving.

Test Kitchen Tips

You can reduce the fat and sugar content in this recipe by substituting cream cheese for reduced-fat cream cheese.

This recipe is flexible, so try it with different juices and jams that you have on hand. Orange juice and marmalade would also work deliciously here! Apple jelly is also a great stand-in.

These peanut butter sandwich ideas are so genius you just have to try them.
