Elegant White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake 😍🥜🤍
Ingredients:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter
2 cups white chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Whipped cream for topping
Chocolate drizzle for garnish
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and peanut butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the melted white chocolate and peanut butter mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined.
Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Before serving, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top of the cheesecake.
Drizzle with chocolate sauce for garnish. Serve chilled.
