Method
Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and salt. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.

Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add the peanut butter and mix until fully combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and sour cream. Mix until creamy and well blended.

Combine and Bake
Pour the peanut butter cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.

Cool and Serve
Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cheesecake cool gradually for about an hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Release from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy!
