Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake

I’ve by no means made a cheesecake before.  And, if I’m being trustworthy here… I don’t truly even like cheesecake.  I know.  I’m a CRAZY consumer for no longer liking cheesecake… but I simply can’t get paste the cream cheese/sour flavor.  Yuck!

Ingredients Cookie Crust 20 Peanut Butter Oreos 1/2 cup peanuts 1/2 cup butter, melted parchment paper Cheesecake Filling 32oz cream cheese (4 8oz packages), room temperature 1 cup darkish brown sugar, packed 3 Tbsp corn starch 8oz (1/2 cup) sour cream 5 huge eggs 2 tsp vanilla 3/4 cup cream peanut butter 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted Peanut Butter & Chocolate Swirl Topping 6oz white chocolate 3 Tbsp creamy peanut butter 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 Tbsp unsalted butter Instructions Cookie Crust Spray 10in springform pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. (I did no longer do the parchment paper part, but want I could have!) Place Oreo cookies and peanuts right into a meals processor. Process combination till the feel is of a course meal. Add the melted butter and job till combined. Press combination into backside of the ready pan. Cheesecake Filling Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Cream collectively the cream cheese, sugar, corn starch and sour cream. Scrape the facets and backside of the bowl to guarantee everything is combined. Add the eggs one at a time and blend nicely after every one addition. Mix within the vanilla and peanut butter. Again, scrape the facets and backside of the bowl to make certain everything is incorporated. Add the melted chocolate and blend till smooth. Pour on ideal of cookie crust and unfold evenly. Bake for 15 minutes then scale back the temperature to 200 F stages and cook dinner for 2 hours. Run a knife round the aspect of the cake to loosen it from the pan. Turn off oven and depart cheesecake within the oven for 2 extra hours. Cover and refrigerate over night. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Swirl In a double boiler, melt the peanut butter and white chocolate collectively till smooth. Remove from warmth and set aside. In one other double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and butter till smooth. Remove from warmth and set aside. Take the cheesecake out of the refrigerator and take away the hoop of the springform pan. If you can, take away the cheesecake from the pan and vicinity at the plate you are serving on. There is the position the parchment paper is available in handy. I did no longer use parchment, so I simply left the cheesecake at the pan and positioned that on my serving platter. Spread an even layer of the peanut butter combination over the ideal of the cake, permitting it to drizzle down the sides. Drizzle the melted chocolate again and forth over the peanut butter. Using a toothpick, drawl circles/swirls to deliver the peanut butter and chocolate combination collectively in a swirly pattern. Don't overswirl! Simple is better! Chill a couple of hours. To serve: Place a long, thin knife in a tall cup of hot water. Wipe off the water. Cut into the cake and via the crust. Pull the knife instantly out from the backside of the cake, don't pull it up and out of the cake. Clean off the knife and dip it within the hot water again. Wipe off the extra water and repeat the slicing job again. You can cut every one slice forward of time and vicinity it again at the platter if you are serving the cheesecake at a get collectively or cut every one slice and serve on a plate one at a time.

For our New Years Eve get collectively with the neighbors, I considered necessary to make anything special… but one among my pals doesn’t like cake (I name him CRAZY for no longer liking cake!) but he loves Reese’s!  So… how about a cheesecake!  And to make it even better, I’ll make it a peanut butter chocolate cheesecake! YESSSSS!!

Since I’ve by no means made one before, I had to discover a recipe.   Surprisingly enough, there weren’t many peanut butter chocolate cheesecake recipes to go with from at the net that appeared 1)simple and 2)super delicious.  I lastly decided to bounce with a recipe from Bake or Break and swap it up somewhat so as to feature a a few JavaCupcake flair!

The unique recipe referred to as for peanuts within the cheesecake, but I decided I considered necessary a most often mushy cheesecake, no chunks… so I left these out.  It also referred to as for a peanut butter crust, but in view that I considered necessary so as to feature extra chocolate to the cake, I used Peanut Butter Oreos within the crust rather of the Nutter Butters the recipe referred to as for.  And finally, for somewhat additional aptitude on top, rather of somewhat swirl of chocolate and peanut butter on top, I created a tremendous thick layer of deliciousness it is peanut butter and chocolate! YUM!

Overall, this was a rich, creamy tremendous filled with taste cheesecake the position I simply savored every one bite!  I liked the crust and the layer of peanut butter and chocolate on ideal was perfect!
