Ingredients

• 2 cups (crushed) Graham crackers
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces (softened, 3 blocks) Cream cheese
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Peanut butter (creamy)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 3 units Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup Chocolate ganache (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until evenly mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and continue beating until well combined and creamy.

Step 5

Mix in the peanut butter, sour cream, and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended.

Step 6

Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 8

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan.

Step 9

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but the edges are set.

Step 10

Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

Step 11

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature before covering and chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 12

If desired, drizzle chocolate ganache over the chilled cheesecake before serving.

Step 13

Slice and serve your delicious Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cheesecake!
