PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE



Peanut Butter Cheesecake image

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.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE BARS



Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bars image

Quicker to bake and chill than a full cheesecake, these chocolate peanut butter cheesecake bars are the perfect choice when you need a crowd-pleasing dessert that's also portable, easy to serve, and handheld. For best results, follow the recipe as written including sufficiently cooling and chilling the bars.

Provided by Sally

Categories     Dessert

Time 6h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

30 regular Oreos
1/2 cup (1 stick; 115g) unsalted butter, melted
3 8-ounce bricks (24 oz. or 750g) full-fat block-style PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (60g) sour cream or plain yogurt, at room temperature
1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter (not natural style)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick; 115g) unsalted butter
1 heaping cup (around 200g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out (makes cutting easier!). Set aside.
  • In a food processor or blender, pulse the Oreos (cookie AND cream filling) into a fine crumb. You should have about 3 cups (330g) of crumbs. Stir the cookie crumbs and melted butter together in a large bowl. Press tightly into the bottom of the lined baking pan. Pre-bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. Leave oven on.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the sour cream and beat until fully combined. Then add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt and beat until fully combined. On medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until just blended. After the 3rd egg is incorporated into the batter, stop mixing. A few small lumps can remain. Whisk the filling a few times by hand to rid any large lumps at the bottom of the bowl.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling onto the crust. It's ok if the crust is still warm. Spread evenly on top with a rubber spatula or back of a spoon. (It will seem like a thick layer of cheesecake filling; that's ok.)
  • Bake for 35-38 minutes or until the cheesecake appears set on top and the edges are browned. The edges may slightly crack. (Mine do!) The bars will be puffy, but will sink slightly down as they cool. Place pan on a wire rack. Cool for 1 hour at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours (and up to 1 day) before topping with chocolate. If you're in a rush, place in the freezer for 2 hours (or until chilled throughout.) If you plan to chill the bars for longer than a few hours, loosely cover with aluminum foil after 3-4 hours of chilling.
  • Cut the butter into Tablespoon-size pieces. Place into a heat-proof bowl. Pour chocolate chips on top. Place in the microwave and melt in 30-second increments until smooth, stopping and stirring after each. You can also melt together on the stove, stirring constantly until smooth. Let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes, then pour and spread evenly over chilled cheesecake bars. The cheesecake bars usually have a lip around the border since the center slightly sinks down, so it's easy to spread the chocolate topping, stopping around the border/lip. If yours don't have a raised lip around the edges, don't worry and just spread the filling evenly all over the top.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 45-60 minutes or in the freezer for 30 minutes until the chocolate topping has set. If chilling for longer than 1 hour, loosely cover with aluminum foil after 1 hour of chilling. Chocolate topping must be completely set and solid on top of the cheesecake bars before slicing.
  • To slice, lift the bars out of the pan as a whole using the parchment overhang on the sides. Cut into squares with a sharp knife. For extra neat squares, wipe the knife clean between each cut.
  • Cover and store leftover cheesecake bars in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

6 tablespoons butter, melted
Dash of salt

Press the mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then set aside to cool. Wrap aluminum foil around the sides and the bottom of the springform pan.
  • Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl in between each addition.
