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.

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.

DELICIOUS PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY CHEESECAKE



Delicious Peanut Butter and Jelly Cheesecake image

Don't let the name fool you into thinking this is a cake for kids. This cheesecake definitely has a richness and flavor that will absolutely appeal to the more mature palate. I've had to change several things to bring out the peanut butter taste and to make the process easier. This cake sells out quickly at the cafe where I work.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use creamy peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate. Just trim the excess crust around the edges and bake it for a few minutes longer, until the crust is golden brown.
  • For a smoother cheesecake, strain the cream cheese mixture before pouring it into the crust.
  • To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, let it cool slowly in the oven. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door cracked open for about an hour. Then, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
  • For a fun twist, try adding a layer of chocolate chips or chopped peanuts to the cheesecake before baking.
