How to Make the Peanut Butter Cheesecake Cup

PIN IT

Step 1 — Blend the cheesecake mixture

In a blender, add:

• Greek yogurt
• cottage cheese
• peanut butter
• honey
• vanilla
• pinch of salt
• (optional) protein powder

Blend until ultra-smooth and creamy.
Scrape down the sides if needed.

It should taste like a whipped peanut butter cheesecake filling — try not to eat the whole thing from the blender (you’ve been warned!).

Step 2 — Pour into a serving cup

Scoop the mixture into a small ramekin, bowl, or glass jar.

Smooth the top with a spoon.

Step 3 — Make the chocolate crackle

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt:

• dark chocolate
• coconut oil

Heat in 20-second intervals until smooth and glossy.

Step 4 — Pour and crack

Pour the chocolate over the cheesecake layer.
Make sure it covers the surface completely.

Sprinkle crushed peanuts + flaky salt immediately.

Place in the fridge for 5–10 minutes until chocolate hardens.

Then… tap your spoon and enjoy that perfect crack.

Step 5 — Serve chilled

Enjoy immediately or store for later.
The longer it chills, the thicker the cheesecake texture becomes.

What to Serve With Your Cheesecake Cup

Pair it with:

• hot coffee
• iced latte
• berries on the side
• vanilla yogurt
• banana slices
• a protein shake

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Add cocoa powder to the base for a chocolate variation
• Use almond butter to make it peanut-free

Storage Instructions

Fridge

Store covered for up to 3 days.
The flavor deepens the next day — even better!

Thaw 20 minutes before eating for cheesecake texture.
