Source of Recipe

www.recipesource.com


List of Ingredients

36 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
1 cup peanut butter


Recipe

Preheat oven to 300ºF. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla, beat until smooth. Add heavy cream, beat till well blended. Transfer 1/3 of batter to another bowl and set aside. Beat melted chocolate into remaining batter. Pour into crust.

With mixer on medium speed, beat peanut butter into remaining 1/3 batter until thoroughly mixed. Carefully spoon peanut butter mixture on top of chocolate cheese mixture in pan. Using the long handle of a wooden spoon, swirl the two flavors together (or leave layered).

Bake about 1 hour, or until cheesecake is set around edges and puffed but still jiggles slightly in the center. Let cake cool 2 hours, then refrigerate until well chilled, 8 hrs. or overnight. For a crust, I use Oreo cookie crumbs and make a crust using their recipe.
