Mini Peanut Butter Cheesecakes

This is the perfect ending to a great dinner. Everyone gets their own mini cheesecake! Who doesn't love that? Serve these with a side of your favorite jelly for a twist on everyone's favorite PB&J!

Ingredients (makes 12 mini cheesecakes)
- 2 packages regular cream cheese (room temp)
- 1/2 cup plain soy milk
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup sugar or 1.5 cups confectioners sugar
- 4 heaping tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Reese's peanut butter chips
- 2 packages of mini cheesecakes (6 per package)

To Make:
In a large bowl, combined the cream cheese, 1 egg and the vanilla extract. Blend together on low speed and slowly add in one egg at a time. Next, add the milk and while blending together, add small portions of the sugar until all is blended. Next, add the peanut butter and blend together. Lastly, add the peanut butter chips and blend together.

Next, preheat your oven to 325. Slowly scoop in about 2 or 3 tablespoons into each mini cheesecake. Be careful to not overfill as this will expand later and cause a mess.

Once they are filled, place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are just about set. They will be slightly golden brown on the top.

To serve:

Remove from the foil base and heat some of your favorite jelly in the microwave, spoon onto a plate and top with extra peanut butter chips.
