Time 3h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter, at room temperature
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup roughly chopped roasted peanuts
One 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Peanut butter chips, for garnish
Chocolate sprinkles, for garnish

Steps:

  • Blend the cream cheese, sour cream, peanut butter and 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar until smooth and creamy with a hand mixer. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts around the bottom of the pie crust and spoon the cheesecake filling on top, smoothing out the top and spreading the filling to the edge. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the cheesecake and refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
  • Whisk together the heavy cream, cocoa powder and the remaining 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a medium mixing bowl until dissolved. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate along with the cheesecake.
  • When ready to assemble, whisk the heavy cream and cocoa powder mixture until medium peaks form. Place the cocoa whipped cream in to a resealable plastic bag and squeeze the icing toward one corner of the bag. Snip a small opening at the corner with the icing. Pipe the frosting in any pattern of your liking around the edge of the pie. Sprinkle the peanut butter chips and chocolate sprinkles on top of the whipped cream. If there is any leftover frosting, serve it in a bowl on the side.

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:

  • For better results, use high-quality cream cheese, peanut butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing it with other ingredients. This will help it blend smoothly and create a creamy cheesecake filling.
  • Use a food processor to grind the vanilla wafers into fine crumbs. This will help them bind together better and create a sturdy crust.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can place the vanilla wafers in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • Press the vanilla wafer crumbs firmly into the bottom of the muffin tins. This will help prevent the crust from crumbling when you add the cheesecake filling.
  • Bake the cheesecakes for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set. Overbaking can cause the cheesecakes to become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cheesecakes cool completely before serving. This will help them to set properly and hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's peanut butter cheesecake minis are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from potlucks to birthday parties. With a creamy peanut butter filling and a crunchy vanilla wafer crust, these cheesecakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
