Creamy peanut butter snickers cheesecake with an Oreo crust.

Ingredients

Peanut butter cheesecake

  • 280 grams (approximately 28) Oreo cookies
  • 100 grams (1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
  • 500 grams (2 and 1/2 cups) full fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 70 grams (1/3 cup) caster sugar
  • 125 grams (1/2 cup) smooth peanut butter
  • 180 ml (3/4 cup) thickened cream
  • 225 grams (1 and 1/2 cup) Snickers bars, chopped

Chocolate topping

  • 150 grams (1 cup) dark chocolate, optional
  • 150 grams (1 cup) Snickers bars, chopped

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease an 8 inch springform cake tin and line with baking or parchment paper.
  2. Using a food processor, whiz Oreo cookies (cream and all) until they resemble fine crumbs. Add butter and whiz again briefly. The cookies should be wet and able to hold their shape. Place crumbs in pan and press down lightly to form one even layer. Place in the fridge.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add your cream cheese, vanilla and sugar. Mix with an electric beater until smooth and creamy. Then add the peanut butter and mix again. Add cream and mix for 1-2 minutes or until mixture is thick and smooth.
  4. Add the Snickers bar and gently fold. Pour the mixture over the Oreo base and gently smooth over the top. Place in the fridge for 3 to 4 hours or until set.
  5. Carefully remove from the tin. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds. Drizzle chocolate over the top and sides of the cake. Top with extra Snickers bars.

Notes

Use a hot knife to slice through the chocolate topping without it cracking.
