Directions

  1. 1. Unpackage the crust and have it ready.
  2. 2. Put the peanut butter in a lightly sprayed mixing bowl. Using a pastry cutter, or fork, cut in the powdered sugar until the mixture form small balls. Cut in brown sugar.
  3. 3. Save three tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture; place the remainder in the pie crust and smooth it out so that it evenly covers the bottom.
  4. 4. Combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, heavy cream and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium for about five minutes.
  5. 5. Pour the cream cheese filling over the peanut butter mixture and garnish with the reserved three tablespoons of the peanut butter mixture.
  6. 6. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35 minutes.
  7. 7. Chill the cheesecake for at least two hours before serving.
