Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 200 g Digestive Biscuits
  • 100 g Butter Unsalted and melted

For the filling:

  • 500 g Cream Cheese
  • 200 g Peanut Butter
  • 200 g Sugar Granulated
  • 4 Eggs
  • 200 g Sour Cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

For the peanut butter sauce:

  • 100 g Peanut Butter
  • 50 g Icing Sugar
  • 50 ml Milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • In a food processor, crush the digestive biscuits until they become fine crumbs. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the biscuit mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan to form the crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, peanut butter, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the edges are set and the centre is slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional 30 minutes with the oven door slightly open.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
  • While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the peanut butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the peanut butter over low heat. Stir in the powdered sugar and milk until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Once the cheesecake has cooled, carefully remove it from the springform pan. Drizzle the peanut butter sauce over the top of the cheesecake.
  • Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
