This rich, decadent Peanut Butter Cheesecake is one of my all-time favorite Trim Healthy Mama-friendly recipes! It feels like a total cheat, but it’s actually a heavy S (use as a treat, since it’s quite calorie dense).
It’s not a baked cheesecake, which means it won’t crack and there’s no need for a water bath; a perfect recipe for a rookie Trim Healthy Mama! Plus, it only takes 20 minutes to make, serves a large crowd, and is so decadent and delicious, even non-THM’s won’t know they’re missing the carbs and sugar! In fact, our oldest son requests it for his birthday every year!
Made with no special ingredients, you probably have everything on hand to whip up this peanut butter cheesecake today. It contains a few pantry staples (sugar-free peanut butter, almond flour, xylitol or Gentle Sweet, and dark chocolate), and a few standard refrigerator ingredients (cream cheese, butter, and whipping cream).

Do you have a nutritional guide for the PB cheesecake?
It looks absolutely delicious!!!
This looks delicious! Def going to give it a try :). What would this be considered (S or E)? I’m relatively new to THM so still trying to figure it all out :). Thanks!
It’s an S, since it’s fat based instead of carb based. ????
I have kiddos with nut allergies, is there anything i can substitute for the almond flour?
Are they allergic to almonds, but not peanuts? I would try substituting with peanut flour if they can handle the peanut butter in the rest of the recipe. You will probably need a bit less of it though, as peanut flour is drier than almond.
Thank you!
Just wanted to say we do the substitute and it’s absolutely delicious!
I cannot wait to dive right into this dessert! I have made it for our lady’s Sunday school party tonight and decided to turn the chocolate drizzle into a ganache and spread it over the entire cheesecake to make it more like a giant Reese’s cup! Thank you for the great recipe!
This looks DELICIOUS!!!!! Have you ever tried it with Super Sweet? That’s what I have on hand…but I’m not sure how adjusting the sweetener will affect things…
What’s the nutrional value on this? Looks Devine but need to know the counts before I get to excited.
Mmmmm, this is wonderful!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! My son-in-law made this special dessert for me for Mother’s Day but used the Stevia packets (that is all they had to choose from at the grocery store), and it was SO GOOD. (I prefer the THM Gentle Sweet myself) but it was fantastic!
Do you know if I can freeze portions of this cheesecake?
thanks

Divine! I used 1/2 c gentle sweet as the sweetener. One of the better low carb desserts I’ve made. Thanks for sharing.
How many carbs …how many servings? Please. It looks delicious.
How much Lakanto monk fruit would you use instead of xylitol?
I made this for a gathering with friends. My “go to” sweetener is xylitol but the host had a dog so I used Lakanto Monkruit (in a test run I used it as is and the cheesecake was crunchy from the granular so I put it through a coffee bean grinder and it was perfect). The only other substitution I did was to use less, Recipe called for 1 cup of Xylitol or 1/2 cup Gentle Sweet and I used maybe 3/4 cup of powdered xylitol leaning on the less side. It was sweet enough and everyone LOVED it. Will definitely be making this again.
