So excited about these Chocolate Peanut Butter Mini Cheesecakes! They are easy, crust-free, no-bake, primal, and low-carb mini cheesecakes with the “Reese’s PB Cup” flavor.

A chocolate mini cheesecake with a nut butter topping. You can use almond butter, peanut butter, or sunflower seed butter as a nut-free option in this recipe. My son went absolutely bonkers for these!

I think you will love these easy, super yummy treats as well. I used nonstick muffin cups to make these like these: Reusable Muffin Cups

    Can you use splenda as a substitute?

      Hi Paul, I'm sure you could. I don't know the conversion amount though, as I've never used it before.

    Ooh these look yummy! Another nut-free option would be coconut butter 🙂

    Made this as the recipe said and it was wonderful. Tonight though, I made it again and instead of using cocoa powder and gelatin I used a pkg of sugar free strawberry jello. Knew it would either be really good or really bad. It was amazing. Totally satisfied my pb&j craving. Made it as a normal sized cheesecake though instead of the frozen snacks.
