8 ounces cream cheese softened

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons peanut butter for drizzle

2 tablespoons crushed cookies for topping

Instructions

1. Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until fully mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of small dessert jars or cups.

2. Add the cottage cheese, cream cheese, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.

3. Spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust layer in each dessert cup.

4. Smooth the tops using a spoon or spatula.

5. Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 2 hours until firm and chilled.

6. Drizzle peanut butter over the top and sprinkle with crushed cookies before serving.

Notes

Blend the cottage cheese thoroughly for the smoothest cheesecake texture.

Chill the dessert cups overnight for an even richer flavor and firmer consistency.

Add chopped peanuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
