CHOCOLATE & PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE CHEESECAKE
Ingredients:
CHOCOLATE CRUMB CRUST (recipe follows)
3 packages (250 g each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar
3 eggs
1/3 cup (75 mL) sour cream
3 tablespoons (45 mL) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon (5 mL) vanilla
1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) salt
1 cup (250 mL) CHIPITS® Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips or CHIPITS® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or CHIPITS® Milk Chocolate Chips, melted
1 cup (250 mL) CHIPITS® REESE® Peanut Butter Chips, melted
Chocolate Syrup, optional
Sweetened whipped cream, optional
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare and bake CHOCOLATE CRUMB CRUST.
2. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, sour cream, flour, vanilla and salt; beat just until blended (overbeating will cause it to crack).
3. Place half of batter (about 2-1/2 cups/625 mL) in another bowl. Stir melted semi-sweet mini chocolate chips into one half of creamed cheese mixture; spread mixture over baked crust. Stir melted peanut butter chips into the other. Gently spread peanut butter mixture over chocolate mixture. Do not stir.
4. Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until center is almost set. Remove from oven to wire rack. With knife, loosen cheesecake from side of pan. Let cool completely; remove outer ring from pan. Cover and refrigerate.
5. To serve, drizzle each slice with chocolate syrup and whipped cream, if desired. Cover; refrigerate leftover cheesecake.
Makes 10 to 12 servings.
