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.

PEANUT BUTTER AND PEPPERONI PIZZA



Peanut Butter and Pepperoni Pizza image

Yes, you read that right! Peanut butter is the ingredient you didn't know you needed on pepperoni pizza. Inspired by a pie from Zorbaz on the Lake, one of my family's favorite spots in Minnesota, my version gets baked in a cast-iron skillet and topped with fresh jalapenos and "hot" (chile-spiked) honey.

Provided by Gabriela Rodiles

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup marinara sauce
2 cups shredded whole-milk mozzarella
1 cup mini pepperoni slices (or regular pepperoni slices)
1 large jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced (about 1/3 cup)
Hot honey, such as Mike's (see Cook's Note), for serving, or honey mixed with hot sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1 clove garlic, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, or grainy or yellow mustard
1 teaspoon regular honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil or neutral oil
1 head romaine lettuce, roughly chopped (about 3 cups), or 3 cups mixed lettuce
1 head radicchio, roughly chopped (about 2 cups), optional
1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup pepperoncini, drained and sliced, or pickled banana pepper rings
1/4 cup thinly sliced red or yellow onion

Steps:

  • For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with the oil. Place the pizza dough in the center and spread evenly to cover the bottom and 1 inch up the sides. Spread the peanut butter evenly over the dough followed by the marinara sauce. Sprinkle with the mozzarella followed by the pepperoni and then the jalapeno.
  • Bake until the cheese melts and browns and the edges are crisp, about 20 minutes. (This is a good time to start the salad.) Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes, then drizzle with hot honey before serving.
  • For the salad: Whisk together the vinegar, garlic, mustard, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pinch of black pepper and the oil in a medium bowl until combined. Set aside and let the garlic infuse the dressing, about 5 minutes. Remove the garlic and add the lettuce, radicchio if using, tomatoes, pepperoncini and onion; lightly toss to coat in the dressing. Serve with the pizza.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peanut butter. Use a smooth, creamy peanut butter for the best results. A natural peanut butter with no added sugar or salt will give you the most control over the flavor of the cheesecake pizza.
  • Cream the peanut butter and cream cheese together until smooth. This will help to ensure that the cheesecake pizza is smooth and creamy.
  • Use a springform pan. This will make it easy to remove the cheesecake pizza from the pan after it has baked.
  • Bake the cheesecake pizza until the center is set. The cheesecake pizza should be slightly jiggly in the center when you take it out of the oven. It will continue to set as it cools.
  • Chill the cheesecake pizza for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake pizza to set completely and develop its full flavor.
  • Garnish the cheesecake pizza with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include chopped peanuts, chocolate chips, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter cheesecake pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a creamy peanut butter filling and a graham cracker crust, this cheesecake pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give peanut butter cheesecake pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
