Description

A rich and creamy cheesecake featuring a smooth peanut butter filling topped with a luscious chocolate ganache, perfect for special occasions or a sweet treat at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 full-size package Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 32 ounces full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap it tightly in heavy-duty foil.
  2. Mix the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter and press this mixture into the bottom of the pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  4. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar, mix well. Gradually add eggs and yolks, one at a time, then pour in heavy cream and mix until smooth.
  5. Pour the filling over the baked crust and smooth the top.
  6. Place the springform pan in a roasting pan, pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another 20 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven, run a knife around the edges, and let it cool completely. Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
  9. For the ganache, heat 1 cup of cream in a saucepan until steaming. Whisk in 1/4 cup peanut butter until smooth.
  10. Pour hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 3 minutes. Stir until smooth, then add salt.
  11. Let ganache cool for 10 minutes, then pour over the chilled cheesecake. Allow it to set for 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve chilled with whipped cream or extra chocolate sauce. Stores well in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
