With a velvety cream cheese base and visually stunning peanut butter swirls, these bars are both delicious and crowd-pleasing. This easy-to-follow recipe ensures consistent results, delivering rich flavors and a smooth, luscious texture every time.

Ingredients

• 150 g digestive biscuits, crushed
• 4 tbsp melted butter
• 400 g cream cheese, softened
• 100 g granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 4–5 tbsp Pami Peanut Butter, slightly warmed

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 170°C. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bars.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits with the melted butter. Mix until evenly moistened, creating a sandy, uniform texture.
3. Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then remove and let it cool slightly.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. The mixture should have no lumps and a silky consistency.
5. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking gently after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the dessert's aromatic richness.
6. Pour the cream cheese filling evenly over the pre-baked crust, spreading it gently with a spatula to avoid disturbing the base.
7. Warm the Pami Peanut Butter slightly to soften it. Using a knife or skewer, create swirls in the cheesecake batter by dragging through the peanut butter in a decorative pattern.
8. Bake the cheesecake bars at 170°C for 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when nudged. Avoid overbaking to maintain a creamy texture.
9. Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set fully, making slicing easier and cleaner.
10. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares or rectangles. For clean slices, dip the knife in hot water and wipe between cuts. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Tip: For extra visual impact, drizzle additional warmed Pami Peanut Butter on top after baking. This adds both flavor and an attractive presentation perfect for gatherings or dessert platters.
