Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of pretzel crumbs
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 24 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together 2 cups of pretzel crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat 24 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of creamy peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar and mix well. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1/2 cup of heavy cream until smooth.
- Pour half of the peanut butter cheesecake batter over the cooled pretzel crust. Drizzle half of the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the batter. Repeat with the remaining batter and melted chocolate.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. Enjoy!
