PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

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.

Provided by Skippy

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 package chocolate sandwich cookie
¾ stick unsalted butter, melted
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
32 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup Skippy® Creamy Peanut Butter
½ cup heavy cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
¼ teaspoon coconut oil
2 cups granulated sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
½ cup water
¾ stick unsalted butter, cubed
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups roasted, salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Make the cheesecake: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 10-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
  • Add the sandwich cookies to a food processor and process into fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse several times, until the crumbs are moistened.
  • Pour the cookie crumbs into the prepared springform pan, pressing evenly against the bottom and halfway up the sides.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes, until slightly puffed. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on high speed until smooth. Add the peanut butter, heavy cream, vanilla, powdered sugar, and salt and beat on medium speed until smooth.
  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill until firm, at least 6 hours, or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, make the peanut brittle: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the syrup is golden brown and the temperature reaches 340°F (170°C).
  • Working very quickly, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the butter and baking soda until well combined; the mixture will foam. Stir in the peanuts until well incorporated.
  • Immediately pour the peanut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly with a spatula. Let cool for 15-20 minutes, then break into small pieces.
  • Just before serving, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring between, until completely melted and smooth.
  • Release the springform and transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter or cake stand. Scatter the peanut brittle on top of the cheesecake and drizzle with the melted chocolate.
  • Slice with a warm knife, wiping clean between cuts, and serve.
  • Enjoy!

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

This irresistible cheesecake is the perfect indulgence for peanut butter fans - freeze for up to two months and serve as a show-stopping dinner party dessert

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

50g butter
175g pack peanut cookies
5 gelatine leaves
500g tub ricotta
175g smooth peanut butter
175g golden syrup
150ml milk
270ml pot double cream
2 tbsp soft brown sugar
1 bar peanut brittle, crushed

Steps:

  • Oil and line a 20cm round loose- bottomed cake tin with cling film, making it as smooth as possible. Melt the butter in a pan. Crush the biscuits by bashing them in a bag with a rolling pin, then stir them into the butter until very well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the tin and chill.
  • Soak the gelatine in water while you make the filling. Tip the ricotta into a bowl, then beat in the peanut butter and syrup. Ricotta has a slightly grainy texture so blitz until smooth with a stick blender for a smoother texture if you prefer.
  • Take the soaked gelatine from the water and squeeze dry. Put it into a pan with the milk and heat very gently until the gelatine dissolves. Beat into the peanut mixture, then tip onto the biscuit base. Chill until set.
  • To freeze, leave in the tin and as soon as it is solid, cover the surface with cling film, then wrap the tin with cling film and foil.
  • To defrost, thaw in the fridge overnight.
  • To serve, carefully remove from the tin. Whisk the cream with the sugar until it holds its shape, then spread on top of the cheesecake and scatter with the peanut brittle.

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:

- To ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. - Use a food processor to grind the peanut brittle into fine crumbs. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the cheesecake. - If you don't have a food processor, you can place the peanut brittle in a plastic bag and crush it with a rolling pin. - For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate. - If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the excess crust around the edges. - Let the cheesecake chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set properly.
