Instructions:
For the crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust it with flour.
- Melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Let it cool.
- In a medium bowl, beat eggs and sugar until a slowly dissolving ribbon forms when beaters are lifted, about 4 minutes.
- Beat in the melted chocolate mixture, vanilla, and chopped chocolate.
- Add flour and baking powder, mixing until just blended (do not overbeat).
- Spread 1 cup of the brownie batter over the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake until firm, about 17 minutes.
- Cool the baked crust in the freezer for about 15 minutes, while maintaining the oven temperature.
For the filling:
- Blend cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and sour cream, then mix well.
- Stir in peanut butter and flour.
- Using a small knife, spread the remaining brownie batter around the sides of the pan, sealing it to the bottom crust.
- Pour in the filling, which will not be as high as the brownie batter.
- Bake until the center of the cheesecake is gently set and the brownie sides have fallen to form a ring around the filling, about 50 minutes.
For the topping:
- Blend sour cream and sugar until well combined.
- Spread the mixture on top of the cheesecake, leaving about 3/4 inch from the edge.
- Bake the cheesecake for an additional 3 minutes.
Serving:
- Allow the Cinderella Cheesecake to cool completely before serving. For an extra touch of magic, garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries.
Tips:
- Be sure not to overbeat the batter to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- For a richer flavor, you can sprinkle crushed nuts on top before baking.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though it’s unlikely you’ll have any leftovers with a dessert this delicious!
Now, let’s get baking and enchant everyone with this delightful Cinderella Cheesecake! ✨🍰 Enjoy!
