• Beat in sour cream on low speed. Set this cheesecake mixture aside as you prepare the whipped cream that you will add to it.
• To make the whipped cream, in a separate bowl, add heavy cream. Start mixing at the lowest speed, and then gradually increase speed to medium until the cream starts to get thicker. (The gradual progression prevents you from spraying yourself with cream.)
• When the cream starts to thicken, stop the mixer. Slowly add in the confectioners' sugar and then resume mixing again, starting with low speed and increasing to medium speed and eventually moving to a high speed. The cream will thicken and start to peak. Mix on high until the cream is thick and stiff.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined.
• Pour the filling into the cooled peanut butter cookie crust and spread into an even layer.
• Combine sour cream and confectioners' sugar; spread in a thin layer over cheesecake.

PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Wrap the outside bottom of the pan with aluminum foil; this will prevent water from seeping in during baking.
• Prepare crust: Grind cookie thins in a food processor into a fine texture. Pour melted butter in slowly and pulse until combined. Press crumb mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the prepared pan.
• Prepare filling: Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in brown sugar, peanut butter, whipping cream, and vanilla extract until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
• Pour 1/2 of the filling into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Add mini peanut butter cups in an even layer on top, then pour remaining filling over, smoothing with a spatula. Place pan in a large baking pan and fill with 1 inch hot water.
• Set baking pan in the middle of the preheated oven and bake until edges are puffed and surface of cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 1/2 hours. Run the tip of a table knife around the edges of the pan, set the pan on a wire rack, and allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, about 1 hour.
• While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare ganache: Place chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat whipping cream in a small saucepan until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips. Mix until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth. Spread ganache on top of the cheesecake.
• Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
