Cheesecake - Reese's Peanutbutter

[DawnJ]

(Only changes . . . I used regular cream cheese instead of light, and I omitted the butternut extract . . . didn't have any. ) Enjoy!

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 large eggs
16 ounces light cream cheese

1/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter -- PLUS

2 tablespoons unsweetened peanut butter

1/2 cup splenda -- or Equal Spoonful

1/2 teaspoon butternut extract -- optional

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/8 teaspoon salt

Topping

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

3/4 cup ricotta cheese

1/4 cup heavy cream

Blend ingredients. May be difficult, depending on blender used, since PB is thick. Pour into 9" glass pie pan. Bake
at 350 for 30 min. Allow to cool (I do it in freezer - don't forget it's there, and use a potholder to protect the freezer
bottom!)
Melt chocolate in microwave, stir in sweetener and extracts.
In a food processor, add melted chocolate mixture to the ricotta and cream.
Process until creamy.
Frost cheesecake with chocolate mixture, cool, and enjoy!

This sounds really good. I've tried several variations of low carb cheese cakes...but not a Peanut Butter one.. Going to put this on my to try list!!

Thanks Dawn.

[DawnJ]

I should also say that I used a food processor to mix this, not a blender (as in recipe) . . . I don't know how well that would work. :rolleyes:

This is the most awesome low-carb dessert that I have ever had!!! No one can believe that it is sugar free. We have to get this "out there" for all the low-carbers to worship!! ;)
I used liquid sugar twin (which brings the carb count down), 2 oz. of 85% cocoa Lindt choc (instead of baking choc and choc extract) and added coarsely chopped bits to the peanut butter mixture. I also just used a regular hand mixer and a bowl. The result is to die for!! :yum: If anyone out there likes a peanut butter cup you will not believe the result of this recipe!!Thank you, thank you, thank you...........

DawnJ,
I just wanted to tell you that I made the cheesecake for Easter and it was a hit with me and my sister and the non carbers alike. I made peanut butter ice cream with it and everyone was so surprised it tasted so great. Thanks again.

Donnaj, how did you make peanut butter ice cream? I was considering using the peanut butter layer (before cooked in blender) to maybe make a milkshake the next time because it was soooo tasty. But the ice cream sounds even better.

I found this recipe on a board. I added 2 tbsp. of crunchy peanut butter and 1/4 cup peanuts. It makes about the quart.

You will found it has rich creamy flavor. A warning it does freeze solid. So I put it in the mirowave for about 15 second to soften it.
Yet me know how you enjoy it.
