Provided by Tasty

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 package chocolate sandwich cookie
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 ½ cups light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup heavy cream, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
24 peanut butter cups, chopped, divided
1 cup semisweet chocolate chip

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • Add the sandwich cookies in a food processor and process into fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse several times, until the crumbs are moistened.
  • Grease a 10-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Add the cookie crumbs, pressing evenly into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, until slightly puffed. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on high speed until smooth. Reduce the speed to medium and beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, until smooth.

  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup heavy cream and the chocolate chips. Microwave for 70 seconds, then whisk until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Release the cheesecake from the springform and transfer to a serving plate or cake stand. Pour the chocolate sauce over the top, spreading with spatula so it drips over the sides slightly. Sprinkle the remaining chopped peanut butter cups on top.
  • Slice with a warm knife and serve.

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

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.
