Not to brag, but I made one of the most amazing cheesecakes in the history of cheese or cake. I really think a cheesecake is closer to a pie, but that's neither here nor there. Though I'm not sure why so many people are scared to make these things....I've never had a flop, and I alter reciepes to my liking every time I make one....I'd say if you have the right pan, and enough money to buy 3-5 packages of Philly cream cheese, then go for it!!
The mixture of the chocolate crust and peanut butter topping, made for a perfect compliment to the plain cheesecake filling. Not too much of anything.
I'm calling this one a Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreo Delight Cheesecake.
Ingredients:
(crust)
1 package Chocolate Peanut butter oreos
3 tablespoons butter, melted
(filling)
3 8-ouce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk
3 beaten eggs
3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
(topping)
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
Directions:
1. Count out 18 Oreos, crush them using bottom of a cup or food processor, then place in spring foam pan and add 3 tablespoons of butter. Blend together and smoosh evenly to cover bottom of pan.
2. For filling, in a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla with an electric mixer until combined. Beat in milk until smooth, then stir in eggs. Then add chocolate chips.
3. Pour filling into crust-lined pan. Bake at 375F for about 45minutes, or until 2.5inch area around the outside edge appears set when gently shaken.
4. Combine topping ingredients in small bowl, spread over cheesecake, and place back in oven for 5 minutes.
5. While cooling on rack, place remaining Oreos from package on top of cheesecake in desired design, sinking the Oreos gently into the topping.
6. After cooling for 10-15 minutes, loosen crust from sides of pan with sharp knife, let cool for 30-60 minutes longer, then remove sides and chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
And from my Better Homes and Gardens cook book Cheesecake Supreme recipe
It was a perfect WAL-LAH moment.
