Peanut Butter Cheesecake With Peanut Brittle Recipes

PEANUT BRITTLE CHEESECAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

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.
• Slice with a warm knife, wiping clean between cuts, and serve.
• Enjoy!

PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Oil and line a 20cm round loose- bottomed cake tin with cling film, making it as smooth as possible. Melt the butter in a pan. Crush the biscuits by bashing them in a bag with a rolling pin, then stir them into the butter until very well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the tin and chill.
• Soak the gelatine in water while you make the filling. Tip the ricotta into a bowl, then beat in the peanut butter and syrup. Ricotta has a slightly grainy texture so blitz until smooth with a stick blender for a smoother texture if you prefer.
• Take the soaked gelatine from the water and squeeze dry. Put it into a pan with the milk and heat very gently until the gelatine dissolves. Beat into the peanut mixture, then tip onto the biscuit base. Chill until set.
• To freeze, leave in the tin and as soon as it is solid, cover the surface with cling film, then wrap the tin with cling film and foil.
• To defrost, thaw in the fridge overnight.
• To serve, carefully remove from the tin. Whisk the cream with the sugar until it holds its shape, then spread on top of the cheesecake and scatter with the peanut brittle.

PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Wrap the outside bottom of the pan with aluminum foil; this will prevent water from seeping in during baking.
• Prepare crust: Grind cookie thins in a food processor into a fine texture. Pour melted butter in slowly and pulse until combined. Press crumb mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the prepared pan.
• Prepare filling: Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in brown sugar, peanut butter, whipping cream, and vanilla extract until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
• Pour 1/2 of the filling into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Add mini peanut butter cups in an even layer on top, then pour remaining filling over, smoothing with a spatula. Place pan in a large baking pan and fill with 1 inch hot water.
• Set baking pan in the middle of the preheated oven and bake until edges are puffed and surface of cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 1/2 hours. Run the tip of a table knife around the edges of the pan, set the pan on a wire rack, and allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, about 1 hour.
• While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare ganache: Place chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat whipping cream in a small saucepan until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips. Mix until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth. Spread ganache on top of the cheesecake.
• Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
