Instructions
- Press and Pre-Bake the Oreo Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Wrap a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil, grease the sides, and press the Oreo crumbs and butter into the pan. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Whip the Loaded Cream Filling: Beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then fold in the remaining ingredients. Pour over the crust.
- Place your foil-wrapped pan in a larger roasting pan; pour hot water into the roasting pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 30 minutes, then allow to rest for another 30 minutes with the door cracked open.
- Release the chilled cake from the pan. For the ganache, heat cream and pour over chocolate chips and peanut butter; whisk until smooth. Pour over the cake and garnish.
