How To Make peanut butter chocolate cheesecake (cinderella)

Step 1

Crust: Melt unsweetened chocolate and butter. Cool. Beat 2 eggs and 1 cup light brown sugar, about 4 minutes. Beat in melted chocolate mixture, vanilla and semmisweet finely chopped chocolate.

Step 2

Add 1/2 cup flour and baking powder. Mix until just blended. Do not overbeat.
Step 3

Spread 1 cup brownie batter over bottom of greased 9 inch springform pan. Bake until firm, at 350 degrees, about 17 minutes. Cool baked crust in freezer for about 15 minutes.
Step 4

Cheesecake: Blend cream cheese and 1/2 cup light brown sugar until smooth.
Step 5

Add 3 eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Add peanut butter and 1/4 cup flour.
Step 6

Spread remaining brownie batter around the sides of the pan, sealing batter to brownie crust.
Step 7

Pour in filling, which will not be as high as brownie batter.
Step 8

Bake in a greased and floured 9 inch springform pan at 350 degrees, about 50 minutes or until brownie sides have fallen to form a ring around the filling.
Step 9

Beat 3/4 cup sour cream and 3 teaspoons sugar. Spread on top of cheesecake to within 3/4 inch of edge.
Step 10

Bake cheesecake 3 minutes more. Cool. Refrigerate overnight.
