Peanut butter and Chocolate is such a natural combination that folks have tried to incorporate the pair into almost every imaginable creation. However, one of my favorites is cheesecake.
Now, after some experimentation, I have found a few shortcuts to making a great PB and C Cheesecake. Obviously, in this age when we can buy store prepared chocolate (known commonly as chocolate bars) , peanut butter and ‘Oreos’…. we become less ‘baker’ and more ‘assembler’. Be that as it may, this does not distract too much from this exquisite dessert. Tomorrow is my wife’s birthday… and she deserves nothing less… especially since she had the fun in making it!
This cheesecake is especially decadent given the chocolate cap with the glazed pecans. The ‘marbled’ cheesecake is accomplished by splitting the batter into two parts: one with peanut butter and white chocolate and the other with milk chocolate… and then rippling them together!
Aaaaah… bake it for someone you love.
