Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cups unsalted butter melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups smooth peanut butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.75 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until creamy and smooth.
  • Add peanut butter and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Mix in melted chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  • Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  • Let cheesecake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

For best results, serve chilled with whipped cream or chopped peanuts on top.
