Chef Hancock of Jack's Firehouse makes a mouth-watering
chocolate peanut butter cheesecake. Yum! First, press the crust into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place
cream cheese, sugar and eggs in a bowl and beat until creamy. Separate cheese mixture into 2 equal parts. Add peanut
butter to one part and melted chocolate to the other. Be sure when you are melting the chocolate that you do not
heat it at too high of a temperature. Adding a fat like Plugrá helps make working with melted chocolate easier.
Here's a tip to keep your cheesecake from cracking. When baking cheesecakes, turn your oven off when the baking
time is complete, BUT, leave your cheesecake in the oven for 1 more hour.
