This recipe is for anyone who adores peanut butter and a good, rich, satisfying dessert.

The crust of this Healthy Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cheesecake is a raw vegan cookie dough.

The cheesecake is a simple raw vegan recipe with just enough peanut butter and mini dark chocolate chips. This recipe is topped off with my famous peanut butter candy coating drizzled with my simple chocolate candy coating. HEAVEN. This recipe makes a lot of the peanut butter candy coating and the chocolate candy coating so I have linked some recipes below that you can enjoy using your prepared coatings with. They keep wonderfully in a sealed-tight container in the refrigerator and I often have a couple mason jars full to use here and there.

I enjoy making this recipe in a smaller spring-form pan so that it is thicker. And a small piece goes a long way.

This recipe is perfect for entertaining, special events or as a luxurious treat.
