A luscious and creamy Nutter Butter Cheesecake featuring a rich peanut butter cookie crust and a smooth, velvety cream cheese filling. This dessert combines the nostalgic flavor of Nutter Butter cookies with a classic baked cheesecake technique, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups Nutter Butter cookies, crushed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Crush the Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  2. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Assemble and bake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared 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 and the center slightly jiggles when the pan is gently shaken.
  4. Chill the cheesecake: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Do not overmix the batter once eggs are added to prevent cracking during baking.
  • For easy removal, run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake before releasing the springform pan.
  • Optional: garnish with chopped Nutter Butter cookies or a drizzle of melted peanut butter before serving.
