About this Recipe
Peanut butter is a food paste or spread made from dry-roasted ground peanuts. It frequently contains additives that alter the taste or texture, such as salt, sweeteners, or emulsifiers. Many countries consume peanut butter. The United States is a major exporter of peanut butter and one of the top per capita consumers of peanut
butter.
In 1895, a man named John Harvey Kellogg invented peanut butter. He created it for people who were older and needed nutrients like protein but couldn't chew meat. Peanut butter made its first public appearance in 1904 at the St. Louis Worlds Fair.
Cheesecake is typically sweetened with sugar and can be flavoured in a variety of ways. The main cheese layer can be flavoured with vanilla, spices, lemon, chocolate, pumpkin, or other flavours. Topping the finished dessert with fruit, whipped cream, nuts, cookies, fruit sauce, chocolate syrup, or other ingredients can add additional
flavours and visual appeal.

This is a pretty easy to make cheesecake. You just need a handful of ingredients to make this. The more cool thing is you don't need cream cheese to make this cheesecake. So you can easily call this recipe as cheesecake without cream cheese..I used hung curd to make this, i took some thick yogurt and poured in some cheesecloth lined over a sieve and put it in fridge and let it drip overnight, the next day i got the beautiful thick hung yogurt which can be easily substituted for cream cheese.
This cheesecake is so creamy and chocolaty and not to mention really peanuty. This has a buttery oreo crust as the base and a luscious creamy chocolate peanut butter filling. Really yummy.
Ingredients for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake
Hung Yogurt :
Hung curd is simply yoghurt that has been completely dehydrated. It is very simple to make at home. Tie some curd in a muslin cloth and hang it for at least 3-4 hours, or until all the water has drained out. After this time, the bundle is squeezed to extract all of the water, and the hung curd is ready.
Peanut Butter:
Peanut butter has a salty, sweet, nutty, and earthy flavour. When you try it, you'll quickly realise that you're in good company, whether you like it smooth or chunky. Chocolate pairs well with peanut butter and jelly, but so do spicy, umami-rich flavours.
Vanilla Essence:
Because of the fantastic flavour it adds, vanilla essence is used in almost every recipe for baked goods. Vanilla extract is always added to desserts because it adds flavour chemically and also brings out the flavours of other ingredients in the mixture.
