Categories     Desserts

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 graham cracker, 4.8-ounce sleeve (136 G)
1 ½ cups salted peanut, roasted
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, melted
3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons lemon juice
¼ cup freeze-dried strawberry, finley ground
hot water, for water bath
¼ cup water
½ cup sugar
1 cup salted peanut, roasted
½ cup strawberry preserve, melted
3 strawberries, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Make the crust: Grease a 7-inch (17 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
  • Add the graham crackers to a food processor and process until broken down into coarse crumbs.
  • Add the peanuts and brown sugar to the food processor with the graham cracker crumbs and grind into fine crumbs.
  • Add the melted butter and peanut butter to the food processor and pulse until well combined, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared springform pan and, using your hands, press the crust in an even layer against the bottom and about 1 inch (2.54 cm) up the sides of the pan.
  • Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with 2 layers of foil, going about halfway up the sides. This will prevent water from leaking into the pan when placed in the water bath.
  • Make the filling: Add the cream cheese to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the sugar and beat for another 3-5 minutes, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the sour cream and beat to incorporate. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating between each addition. When the eggs are well incorporated, beat in the vanilla and lemon juice. Fold in the freeze-dried strawberries.
  • Pour the filling into the crust.
  • Place the springform pan in an 11-inch (27 cm) round pan or roasting pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform, being careful not to splash any onto the cheesecake. Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. The center of the cheesecake should still jiggle slightly when you shake the pan.
  • Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool.
  • Carefully remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let cool at room temperature for another hour, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Make the candied peanuts: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large, nonstick skillet, combine the water, sugar, and peanuts. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until the sugar has caramelized and browned and the nuts are evenly coated, 10-15 minutes.
  • Spread the candied peanuts on the prepared baking sheet. Let cool until safe to handle, then break apart with your hands into bite-size pieces.
  • Once the cheesecake has chilled, use a knife or offset spatula to loosen the cheesecake from the rim of the pan, then release the springform. Transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread the melted strawberry preserves over the top of the cheesecake. Top with the fresh strawberries and candied peanuts.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CHEESECAKE



Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake image

This cheesecake has all the fond memories of those childhood peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but it's way more decadent and sophisticated.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 7h20m

Yield One 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

20 whole chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch salt
2 1/2 pounds cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
5 eggs
2 yolks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup jelly (if you are using one that is pale, you may consider a drop of food coloring to perk up the color)
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Making the cheesecake:
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a food processor pulverize the chocolate sandwich cookies, butter, sugar and salt.
  • Pour into a 9-inch springform pan and pat flat with your fingertips, bringing the cookie crumbs up the sides slightly. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until set.
  • In a stand mixer, fitted with the beater blade, mix the cream cheese on low speed, scraping down the sides to make sure it is smooth. Add the sugar and sour cream.
  • Add the eggs and yolks one at a time, mixing well after each. Add the salt and vanilla.
  • Split the batter into two bowls. Add the peanut butter to one bowl and add the jelly to the second.
  • Place the pan on a baking sheet. Spread the peanut butter batter over the crust, smoothing out the top.
  • Very carefully add the jelly batter over the peanut butter batter.
  • Place the cheesecake in the center of the oven. Place a second baking sheet on a lower shelf and fill it with water. The water will create steam in the oven and prevent the cheesecake from developing a hard crust. Bake for about 60 minutes or until set in the center. The top will souffle slightly.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 4 hours. After one hour in the refrigerator, loosely cover with plastic.
  • Carefully run a thin-bladed knife around the edge of the pan. Un-mold the cake from the pan.
  • To make the ganache:
  • In a saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer. Remove from the heat, add the butter and chopped chocolate. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, then stir gently, until totally smooth.
  • Place the cheesecake on a cooling rack that is sitting above a baking sheet, lined with parchment. This will catch the excess ganache.
  • Let the cake sit on the rack until the ganache has set up, about 45 minutes.
  • To decorate the sides see the above video.
  • Use a thin knife, dipped in a pitcher of hot water to cut the cake.
  • When you cut into it, the peanut butter and jelly layers will reveal themselves.

PEANUT-BUTTER-AND-JELLY CHEESECAKE SQUARES



Peanut-Butter-and-Jelly Cheesecake Squares image

Three things go into making this recipe really smooth: creamy peanut butter, like Jif or Skippy (our test-kitchen's go-to for baking); and room-temperature eggs and cream cheese.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 6h30m

Yield Makes about 24 two-inch squares

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more, softened, for brushing
14 graham crackers (each 3 by 5 inches), broken into pieces
2/3 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 pounds cream cheese (4 eight-ounce bars), room temperature
1 cup creamy peanut butter, such as Jif or Skippy
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup Concord-grape jelly

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter.
  • Finely grind crackers in a food processor. Add melted butter, peanuts, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; pulse until peanuts are chopped and texture of mixture resembles wet sand.Transfer to prepared baking dish; press firmly and evenly into bottom and three-quarters of the way up sides. Bake until set and slightly darkened, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Reduce oven to 325 degrees. In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and peanut butter on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in granulated sugar until lightand fluffy, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then vanilla until smooth. Pour filling into cooked crust; smooth top with asmall offset spatula. Bake until puffed and set along edges but still slightly wobbly in center, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Whisk jelly in a saucepan over medium until melted. Pour evenly over cake, then tilt dish to spread jelly to edges in a thin, even layer. Refrigerate until jelly is firmly set, about 4 hours.Cut cake into squares, wiping knife between cuts for clean edges, or cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.

Tips:

- Use high-quality peanut butter for a richer flavor. - 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. - To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, bake it in a water bath. This will help to create a more moist and creamy cheesecake. - Let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from sinking in the middle. - For a neater appearance, use a piping bag to spread the peanut butter and jelly filling on top of the cheesecake. - If you don't have time to make the peanut butter and jelly filling from scratch, you can use store-bought peanut butter and jelly.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter and jelly cheesecake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture and sweet and tangy flavor, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this peanut butter and jelly cheesecake a try. You won't be disappointed.
