Peanut butter cheesecake ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for the recipe: peanut butter, cream cheese, yogurt, pure vanilla extract, sweetener of choice, and cornstarch. There’s also a keto option included below.
You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter. And either conventional brands, like Skippy or Jif, or natural peanut butter will work in this New York style cheesecake.

If you prefer almond butter, cashew butter, macadamia nut butter, or a flavored peanut butter spread, these are all fine choices as well.

For a vegan peanut butter cheesecake, simply use dairy free yogurt and packaged plant based cream cheese, which is often sold in the same section as the Philadelphia cream cheese. Or you can make homemade vegan cream cheese.
