SERVINGS: 10-12 servings
COURSE: Dessert
For The Crust:
- 26 Chocolate sandwich cookies.
- 6 Tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
For The Filling:
- 3 Cups of cream cheese
- 1 Cup sugar
- 1/4 Cup brown sugar
- 1/4 Teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoon vanilla
- 1 Cup sour cream
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup peanut butter
For The Ganache:
- 1/2 Cup dark chocolate
- 1/2 Cup heavy cream
PREPARATION
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add the chocolate cookies to your food processor and blend until they break into small pieces. Pour in the melted butter while pulsing the processor, then with a spatula stir to integrate everything.
- Transfer the mixture to your springform pan and spread it with a spatula so that the crumbs are evenly distributed on the bottom and also on the sides. Press well using a tall glass to compact. Bake for about 10 minutes at 350F or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar, salt, vanilla and beat until well blended, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add peanut butter and sour cream, beat until completely smooth. Pour cheese filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Wrap the bottom of the pan with a double layer of foil and place in a large baking dish. Pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the pan.
- Bake at 320°F until the top begins to brown and crack, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool slowly in a bain-marie for 1 hour.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for 2 hours or preferably overnight.
- Heat the cream in a saucepan or microwave and pour over the chopped chocolate, mix well to melt the chocolate with the heat of the cream and integrate, let stand a little at room temperature.
- Spread the ganache over the cake and put it back in the refrigerator to cool well.
- You can add peanuts or chocolate chips on top of your cake to decorate.
- Serve and enjoy!
