Instructions:
1. Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
2. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
3. Add the peanut butter: Mix in the peanut butter until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
4. Incorporate the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
5. Prepare the chocolate layer: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the heavy cream and add in any remaining chocolate (if desired) until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before pouring it over the peanut butter filling.
6. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the peanut butter filling over the cooled chocolate cookie crust in the springform pan. Then, gently pour the melted chocolate mixture on top of the peanut butter layer. Use a knife or a skewer to swirl the chocolate into the peanut butter filling for a marbled effect.
7. Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
8. Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
9. Serve: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled. You can garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
Enjoy your deliciously rich and creamy Heavenly Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake!
