Ingredients

Scale

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons melted butter
4 (8 oz) packages softened cream cheese
1 cup smooth peanut butter
¾ cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup heavy whipping cream
3 eggs
1½ cups warmed strawberry topping or preserves

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Firmly press into the bottom of a springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Add peanut butter and sugar; mix until combined.
Incorporate flour and vanilla extract, blending until smooth. Gradually add heavy whipping cream while mixing on low speed.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated each time.
Pour filling over the crust in the springform pan and bake for about 50 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool inside the oven for about an hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Warm strawberry topping before serving, drizzle over slices, and enjoy!
