Ingredients:
• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and 1/4 cup heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
5. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
7. In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
8. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled cheesecake, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
9. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and enjoy!
