How to Make Cinderella Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- **Make the Brownie Crust:**
- Melt 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes).
- Beat in the cooled chocolate mixture, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup chopped semi-sweet chocolate.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread 1 cup of the brownie batter evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 17 minutes, or until the crust is set. Cool in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- **Make the Filling:**
- In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 1 cup sour cream.
- Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until just combined.
- Using a small knife or offset spatula, spread the remaining brownie batter around the sides of the pan, sealing it to the bottom crust.
- Pour the filling into the pan. The filling will be lower than the brownie crust.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center of the cheesecake is just set and the brownie sides have pulled away from the filling, creating a ring.
- **Make the Topping:**
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
- Spread the sour cream topping evenly over the cheesecake, leaving a 3/4-inch border.
- Bake for an additional 3 minutes.
