Heavenly Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake
Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
For the filling:
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the topping:
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
Whipped cream for garnish
Chocolate drizzle for garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a medium bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add peanut butter and beat until well combined.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract.
Pour filling over crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.
To make the topping, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled cheesecake. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
