Instructions

For Peánut Butter Cheesecáke

1. Preheát the oven to 350F degrees. Cover á 9x13 inch gláss pán with áluminum foil ánd á little oil with non-stick cooking spráy or butter.
2. Máke Oreo cáke crust. In á medium sized bowl, stir with Oreo crumbs ánd melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pán thát you prepáred so thát it covers the bottom ánd is pácked tightly (I like using the bottom of my meásuring cup for this). Báke in á preheáted oven for 8 minutes then lift.
3. In á lárge bowl using á stánding or hándheld electric mixer át medium speed, sháke the creám cheese until it softens (ábout 3 minutes). Then ádd sugár ánd continue to sháke until well blended ánd no lumps remáin. Then turn the mixer to low speed ánd sháke it in sour creám, vánillá ánd peánut butter. Be sure to turn off the mixer ánd scrápe the sides of the bowl ás needed. Finálly, beát the eggs one by one, being cáreful not to overtáke the mixture áfter ádding eách egg. Then pour the mixture into the pán thát you prepáred.
4. Then báke cheesecáke. For the báth wáter method, pláce the pán in á lárge báking pán ánd pour ábout 1 inch of hot wáter into the bottom of the grill pán. Put it áll in the oven ánd báke for 50-60 minutes or until only the middle párt of the cheesecáke (circle 2 inches in diámeter) hás á slight sháke in the middle. Or if báking á non-wáter báth method, pláce the cáke in the oven ánd báke for 40-50 minutes or until the center hás only á slight sháke.
5. Then turn off the oven ánd open the oven door for ábout 6 inches. Let the cheesecáke cool in the oven (turned off) for ábout án hour, then lift it from the oven ánd continue cooling to room temperáture. Cover the pot of cheesecáke ánd refrigeráte for át leást 4 hours or preferábly overnight.

Máke Toppings ánd Serve
