Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by wrapping it in aluminum foil and spraying it with nonstick spray.

- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth. Add the peanut butter, sour cream, sugar, and flour. Mix well, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
- Pour this filling into the crust and place the pan in a water bath.
- Bake for 1 hour. Once done, let it cool in the oven with the door slightly open.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours before serving.
- For the topping, heat the heavy cream, stir in the peanut butter until well combined, then let it cool and pour over the cheesecake. Chill for another 15-30 minutes.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
