Toppings:

• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup peanuts, chopped
• Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand.
2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust.
3. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Peanut Butter Cheesecake Layer

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
3. Gently fold in whipped heavy cream to create a light, fluffy texture.
4. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Return to the refrigerator.

Step 3: Assemble the Chocolate Cheesecake Layer

1. In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate cheesecake filling and peanut butter cheesecake filling until smooth.
2. Spread this layer evenly over the peanut butter cheesecake layer.
3. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the layers to set.

Step 4: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

1. In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate with oil until smooth.
2. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture becomes glossy and thickened.
3. Let the ganache cool slightly, then pour it over the set cheesecake layers, spreading evenly with a spatula.

Step 5: Add the Toppings

1. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and optional sprinkles over the ganache while it is still slightly soft.
2. Return the dessert to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 more hours or overnight.

Serving

Remove the dessert from the springform pan and slice into clean, even pieces. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor. This dessert pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of milk.
