Recipe - Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake

2 One fourth pound Cream cheese; softened
1 One half cup Sugar
6 Eggs
2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 One half cup Heavy cream
10 ounce Semisweet chocolate; melted
1 cup Peanut butter;
smooth or crunchy

Recipe by: Rebecca Oeswein oeswein@dadd.ti.com Preheat oven to 300 F.

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.

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.
I also do not swirl the flavors together. I like them layered better.
