How to Make Peanut Butter Cheesecake Taste Of Home

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine 1 ½ cups crushed pretzels and ¼ cup melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a greased 10-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. In a large bowl, beat 2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Beat in 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  9. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
  10. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  11. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is almost set. A slight jiggle is okay.
  12. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes.
  13. Meanwhile, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream, ¼ cup peanut butter, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
  14. Spread the topping evenly over the cheesecake.
  15. Sprinkle with ½ cup chopped peanuts (optional).
  16. Bake for 5 minutes more.
  17. Cool completely on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before running a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen.
  18. Cool for another hour before removing the sides of the pan.
  19. Refrigerate overnight for best results. Enjoy!
