PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE



Peanut Butter Cheesecake image

Peanut Butter Cheesecake is a smooth and creamy cheesecake made with peanut butter and a homemade peanut butter cookie crust.

Provided by Amanda Rettke--iambaker.net

Categories     Dessert

Time 6h38m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (258 g) peanut butter, (creamy or crunchy)
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, (room temperature)
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, (room temperature)
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1¼ cups (322.5 g) creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup (57.5 g) sour cream
1¼ cups (297.5 g) heavy cream, (cold)
¾ cup (94 g) confectioners' sugar
½ cup (115 g) sour cream, (room temperature)
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
¼ cup (60 g) creamy peanut butter, (melted)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, sugar, and egg until combined.
  • Press the cookie batter into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes or until slightly crisp and no longer shiny. Allow the crust to cool completely before continuing with the recipe.
  • Use an electric mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Again, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • 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.
  • Refrigerate for at least 6 hours. I recommend letting it chill overnight.
  • After the cheesecake has set, drizzle with melted peanut butter and serve.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter, melted, plus more for pan
1 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped peanut butter cups, about 8 pieces (recommended: Reese's)
1/4 cup peanut butter, plus 2 tablespoons, heated in microwave at 10 second intervals for easy spreading
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup warm water, plus more as needed
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter 2 (8-inch) circular pans and line with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl combine the 1 cup melted butter and cocoa and stir until the cocoa is dissolved.
  • Add the sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, and mix well. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix until incorporated. Stir in the vanilla, flour and salt and combine until the flour is no longer visible. Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups and divide the mixture between the pans. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Run a knife around the edge of each pan and turn out onto a work surface.
  • Put 1 cake layer on a cake plate or a round platter. Spread the 1/4 cup of peanut butter over the first layer and top with the second layer. In a bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, the confectioners' sugar and water until a glaze forms. Add more water, if needed, to achieve desired glaze consistency. Pour the glaze on top of the torte, spreading it out with a small knife allowing it to drip over the sides. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler and drizzle over the glaze. Cut into slices and serve.

PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE



Peanut Butter Cheesecake image

This homemade peanut butter cheesecake is extra creamy and loaded with chocolate. A semi-sweet ganache, adorned with chopped peanut butter cups and more peanuts, blankets the top.

Categories     baking     comfort food     dessert     snack

Time 10h35m

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 c. cocktail peanuts
30 chocolate wafer cookies
2 tbsp. light brown sugar
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
4 8 oz. blocks cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 c. sour cream, at room temperature
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1 c. granulated sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2/3 c. heavy whipping cream
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 c. heavy whipping cream
Cocktail peanuts, chopped peanut butter cups and flaked salt, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Tightly wrap the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan with foil.
  • Place the peanuts in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until roughly chopped. Add the wafer cookies and light brown sugar. Pulse until very finely ground. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Transfer the mixture to the springform pan. Using the bottom of a glass, press the crust into the bottom and about 1-inch up the side of the pan. Place the springform pan inside of a roasting pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool while making the filling. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F.
  • For the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sour cream on medium-low speed until totally smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the peanut butter, sugar, and salt. Beat on medium-low speed until completely combined. With the mixer running, add the eggs, one at a time until each is fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl in between eggs. Mix in the whipping cream until combined. Pour the batter into the crust. (The batter will almost fill the pan.) Gently tap or jiggle the pan to level the batter.
  • Boil 8 cups of water. Place the roasting pan with the cheese cake in the oven. Very carefully pour the water into the roasting pan until about 1 inch deep.
  • Bake for 75 to 80 minutes or until the filling is puffed and the center slightly wobbles when the pan is gently shaken. Add more hot water to the pan during baking if needed. Turn off the oven, crack the door a few inches, and let cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove and finish cooling to room temperature. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and remove the foil from the pan.
  • Chill the cooled cheesecake for at least 6 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, run a thin knife or offset spatula around the sides of the cheesecake to release it from the pan. Release and remove the side of the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate.
  • For the topping: Place the chocolate chips in a small heat-proof bowl. Microwave the cream until very hot and just starting to bubble, about 1 minute. Pour cream over the chocolate and let stand for 10 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted.
  • Pour the ganache over the top of the chilled cheesecake and spread to the edges to let it drip down. Garnish with peanuts, salt, and peanut butter cups, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE



Peanut Butter Cheesecake image

Rich and creamy without being overly sweet, this cheesecake is perfect for all chocolate and peanut butter lovers!

Provided by Christina Ernst

Time 5h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (10 ounce) packages creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookie thins (such as Oreo® Thins)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
5 large eggs, at room temperature
1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
1 cup smooth peanut butter
½ cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) package miniature chocolate-covered peanut butter cups (such as Reese's®), unwrapped
1 (8 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup heavy whipping cream

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your torte.

  • Let the torte cool completely before serving. This will help it set properly.

If you are looking for a dessert that is both unique and delicious, this torte is the perfect choice.
