Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/4 lb Cream cheese -- softened
1 1/2 c Sugar
6 Eggs
2 ts Vanilla extract
1 1/2 c Heavy cream
10 oz Semisweet chocolate -- melted
1 c Peanut butter

Preheat oven to 300?F.

In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar until light
and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add
vanilla, beat until smooth. Add heavy cream, beat until well
blended.

Transfer 1/3rd of batter to another bowl and set aside. Beat melted
chocolate into remaining batter. Pour into crust. With mixer on
medium speed, beat peanut butter into remaining 1/3rd batter until
thoroughly mixed. Carefully spoon peanut butter mixture on top of
chocolate cheese mixture in pan. Using the long handle of a wooden
spoon, swirl the two flavors together.

Bake about 1 hour, or until cheesecake is set around edges and
puffed but still jiggles slightly in the center. Let cake cool for
2 hours, then refrigerate until well chilled, 8 hours or overnight.

For a crust, I use Oreo cookie crumbs and make a crust using their
recipe. I also do not swirl the flavors together. I like them
layered better.
