CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE



Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake image

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 (14-ounce) box graham crackers (2 cups crumbs)
1/2 cup salted peanuts
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
4 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
2 (8-ounce) bars cream cheese
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
1 cup superfine sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup sour cream
1 cup milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
9-inch springform pan

Steps:

  • Cook's Note: All the ingredients should be at room temperature before you start.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Process the crackers, peanuts, bittersweet chocolate chips, and butter in a food processor. Once it comes together in a clump, turn it into a springform pan and press into the bottom and up the sides to make the crunchy crust. Put it in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
  • Add all the filling ingredients to a food processor and pulse until it becomes a smooth mixture.
  • Pour and scrape the filling into the crust and bake for 1 hour, checking after 45 minutes. The top, only, should feel set and dry.
  • Take the cheesecakes out of the oven and set aside while you make the topping. Warm the sour cream and milk chocolate with the brown sugar in a small saucepan over a low heat. Gently whisk to blend in the chocolate as it melts, then take the pan off the heat.
  • Spoon and spread the topping very gently over the top of the cheesecake, being as careful as you so as not to break the surface. (Not that anything bad will happen; you'll just have chocolate marbling the cake a bit.) Put it back in the oven for a final 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and cool. Slice and serve.
  • Make Ahead:
  • Make the cheesecake up to 2 days ahead. Cool and chill as directed. Do not cover until completely cold, then cover with a plate or plastic wrap, making sure that the covering does not touch the surface. Unmold and serve as directed in the recipe. This will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days total.
  • Freeze Note:
  • The cheesecake can be frozen for 1 month. Make sure it is thoroughly chilled then wrap, still in its pan, in a double layer of plastic wrap and layer of aluminum foil. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and eat within 2 days. A small amount of condensation may appear on surface of the cheesecake after thawing, but it is still fine to eat.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the flavor of your cheesecake. Use a good quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best results.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature: This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients. If the cream cheese is too cold, it will be difficult to mix and could cause the cheesecake to curdle.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger pan filled with hot water. The water should come up about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the cheesecake to set properly and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

This easy chocolate peanut butter cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. It is perfect for any occasion, from a special dinner party to a casual get-together. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy peanut butter filling, and graham cracker crust, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit.
