Party Panache, Peanut Butter Oreo Cheesecake
.
Okay, let’s just start with
this isn’t diet food…
.
.
The good news is, you only need a sliver to satisfy your sweet tooth!
.
.
It’s easy to make, and I mean, peanut butter and chocolate…
AND cheesecake???
What’s not to love!
.
.
1 large package of Peanut Butter Oreo Cookies is enough to make the crust, and have plenty left to put into the filling and garnish the top
.
.
Make the crust first by combining 1/2 of the cookie package, about 15-18 crushed cookies with 3 T melted butter
.
.
The easiest way to do this is in a food processor,
but you can also crush the cookies in a large ziplock bag with a rolling pin, and then add the butter and mix in the bag
Press crumbs into a greased 9 1/2″ springform pan {or regular pie dish}
Press evenly in the bottom and about 1/2″ up the sides
.
.
The cheesecake filling is made with cream cheese,
peanut butter, sour cream, eggs and sugar
.
.
Once you’ve made the cheesecake base,
break 10-12 cookies into quarters, and don’t worry if they crumble a little, {save all those delicious crumbs too}
Gently stir them into the cheesecake batter
.
.
Pour batter into prepared pan and place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet
.
.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, and check
You want the middle to be barely set, still a little jiggling
Return to oven for a few minutes if necessary
.
.
Upon cooling, the cheesecake might develop some cracks in the middle
but not to worry!
This is easily solved
.
.
A drizzle with a thick chocolate sauce will cover the cracks
.
.
And be the base of a cookie garnish!
.
.
Refrigerate for 4 hours before serving
,
.
This is so rich, cut it into thin wedges to serve
using a sharp knife and wiping blade before each cut
.
.
