Print Recipe

A quick and easy no-bake cheesecake combining creamy peanut butter and chocolate chips on a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for Father’s Day or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tbsp (70g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp (25g) granulated sugar
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) heavy cream, cold
  • ½ cup (90g) mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Compact tightly using the back of a spoon or flat-bottomed cup. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a cold mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes). Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until combined (about 5 minutes).
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and peanut butter mixture in batches until uniform (2-3 minutes).
  7. Fold in mini chocolate chips carefully to avoid breaking them (1 minute).
  8. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set.
  10. Before serving, run a warm knife around the edges to release the cheesecake from the pan. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks to keep filling light and airy. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Chill cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Let sit at room temperature 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts. For dairy-free, swap heavy cream with coconut cream and use vegan cream cheese and dairy-free chocolate chips.
