Ingredients
Pecans
1 cup, halves
Butter
½ tablespoon
Cream Cheese
1 pound
Peanut Butter
2 tablespoon
Vanilla Extract
½ tsp
Organic Agave Nectar by Simply Natural
4 teaspoon
Recipe Steps
steps 5
2 h 25 min
Step 1
Finely chop the pecans so they can create a supportive crust for the cheesecake bites but still provide a crunch. In a small pan, melt the butter over low heat. Toast the pecans in the butter until they become fragrant – about 1 minute.Step 2
Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners. Distribute the toasted pecans into each cup. Set this aside for later.Step 3
In a stand mixer, whip the cream cheese until it’s light and fluffy – about 10 minutes. This is a crucial part to the perfect cheesecake. The more air that gets incorporated into the cream cheese, the lighter the texture of the final product will be.Step 4
Whip the remaining ingredients into the cream cheese. Then, distribute the cream cheese filling into each mini cupcake liner. A squeeze bottle will work best for cleanly filling the liners, but spoons or a spatula will work as well. This should make about 24 mini cheesecake bites.Step 5
Freeze the peanut butter cheesecake bites for at least 2 hours before eating. Enjoy!

These look like they would work in one of those expressed cookie things where you turn the crank and it squeezes cookies out in whatever shape you have set it for. What do you think?

Can I transform this into a large cheesecake, in a spring form pan?
Sandi60 2 years ago
I'm going too give it a try, I happen too have 4 and 6 inch spring form pans, thanks Nedine for the idea, and cherries too carbs so blackberries raspberries yumyum gotta try this wonder I'd I can use almond butter, not fond of peanutbutter unless it's a cookie lol

Since this is a no-bake recipe, you would need to multiply this by 3-4 times to make enough to fill a springform pan. Remember, there are no raw liquid ingredients here like a normal cheesecake has.

A nice sweet, savory snack. Swapped out the Agave nectar for 3 tbs of Swerve confectioners for added sweetness and a lot less net carbs. I chose to make 8 larger servings and my calculations put each piece at 3.2 net carbs using Jif peanut butter.

These were simple to make, I doubled up the batch and used regular muffin cups. I used stevia, but only two teaspoons and found it was way more than sweet enough. They are an amazing craving buster!

I substituted the peanut butter and agave for a scoop of peanut butter protien powder and loved them.

With your revising what are net carbs?
Dpotts 5 years ago
I don’t think agave nectar is Keto. One tablespoon has 16 carbs. Look it up on the app.
Sher Healthy 4 Life 2 years ago
Agreed! I swapped for Lankanto’s confectioners sugar and it was delicious! Totally keto!

I was wondering the same & what could be substituted.

I used walnut instead of pecans and added one package of Stevia . I also used a regular muffin pan and made 12 instead of 24. . My family loved them .

Can you use almond butter instead?
MarvellousCauliflower960874 3 years ago
I dont see why you couldn't
sharon.mackinnon 6 years ago
I just tried these! They are really yummy. I used natural crunchy peanut butter and substituted half the pecans with almonds flour to create a finer crust. Very satisfying. I used the mini cupcake holders so ended up with 30 rather than 24. You could use the regular holders but one serving would be calorie dense. I used a piping bag without a tip to place the batter into the cups. Easy!

Can you use regular muffin pan for these?
recipewriter 6 years ago
Yes you can! Please note that your serving size and nutritional value would double, since a regular muffin tin = 2 mini muffin tins.

I'm going to try this. Has anyone tried using raw almond butter instead of peanut butter?
earthboundgirl 6 years ago
Those look like standard size muffin cups. Are they really supposed to be mini ones?
aswiftdavis103f 6 years ago
Do these need to stay frozen after the freezing period? Or can you leave them out?
