A QUICK OVERVIEW – MAKING CHEESECAKE BITES:
- Measure cream cheese, peanut butter powder, agave, salt, vanilla and heavy cream into a small bowl. Mix on high until smooth.
- Use a spatula to transfer batter into a small zip log back. Cut off one corner of the baggie and squeeze mixture into muffin pan cavities until they are about two-thirds full.
- Crush peanuts and stir in melted coconut oil.
- Fill muffin cups to the top with peanut crust mixture.
- Freeze for 2 hours or overnight.
- Pop cheesecake bites out of the pan and drizzle with melted chocolate.
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
To make your cheesecake bites you’ll need a silicone mini muffin pan. Pictured below is the one I use and it’s AWESOME. It’s freezer safe and oven safe so you can use it for baked goods, too! It’s also non-stick and dishwasher safe so clean up is easy. The best part? It’s very affordable (and cute)!

Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites | No Bake!
Recipe details
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese *one standard size bar
- ⅓ cup peanut butter powder
- ¼ cup agave nectar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 & ½ cups roasted & salted peanuts *crushed
- 2 & ½ tablespoons coconut oil *divided
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips *see note below
Instructions
- Measure cream cheese, peanut butter powder, agave nectar, heavy cream, vanilla extract and salt into a small mixing bowl. Beat ingredients together with an electric mixture on medium high for 2-3 minutes (until smooth), stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula when necessary.
- Line a drinking glass with a small Ziploc bag and use a spatula to transfer ingredients into the open baggie. Remove from the glass and zip closed, cut off one corner of the bag at the very tip to create a small opening. (*Note: make sure you cut off only the VERY tip of the bag. you don't want a very big opening. You can go back later and cut a little more if necessary).
- Squeeze cheesecake mixture from bag into muffin pan cavities until each one is about two thirds full.
- Use a food processor to crush your peanuts into small crumbs. (If you don't have a food processor you can also put your nuts into a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or drinking glass or mince them up with a knife). Melt 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (the remaining ½ tablespoon will be added to your chocolate drizzle) and add it to the peanut crumbs.
- Stir peanut and oil mixture until well combined and then fill muffin pan cavities to the top with mixture. (*Tip: it's helpful to stir the peanuts and oil on occasion while portioning out to keep ingredients evenly distributed).
- Freeze for 2 hours (or overnight).
- Measure chocolate chips and ½ tablespoon of coconut oil into a small, microwave safe bowl and melt.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pop cheesecake bites out of the muffin pan. Arrange them on the baking sheet and drizzle with chocolate.
- Eat immediately or freeze/refrigerate your bites until you are ready to enjoy!
Tips
- Chocolate chips: I always use Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips – they are SO good. I highly recommend them!
