Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake

This is so good - like a peanut butter cup! This recipe makes a large dessert, and I have made it a few times to take to functions, where it has proved extremely popular.

 
Ingredients:
Recommend this recipe to a friend

Crust:
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup graham wafer crumbs
1/4 cup sugar

Filling:
12 oz. cream cheese, softened (1-8 oz., 1-4 oz. package)
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup whipping cream

Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 squares semi sweet chocolate
1/4 cup butter

 
Directions:

Crust:
Combine butter, graham wafer crumbs and sugar. Press into the bottom of a 10" springform pan.

Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Cool completely before adding filling.

Filling:
In a large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and sugar until light and fluffy.

Whip cream and fold into peanut butter mixture. Pour over cooled crust.

Topping:
Combine sugar, cream and vanilla in a saucepan. Stir to blend. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes - do not stir.

Remove from heat and add chocolate and butter. Stir with a wooden spoon until chocolate has melted and the mixture becomes quite shiny - about 5 minutes.

Pour over filling. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.
