Instructions

Step 1

The calculations in this recipe are for a 16cm mold.

Step 2

To make the ground nuts, rinse raw peanuts, then dry them in a frying pan over medium heat until golden brown. Peel the peanuts and place them on a silicone mat. Melt the sugar over medium-high heat until it reaches a bright golden color and pour it over the nuts. Let cool, then grind in a blender until you obtain fine crumbs. Be sure to monitor the sugar closely to avoid burning it.

Step 3

For the cake base, stir the softened butter and powdered sugar with a spatula until creamy. Add the egg yolk and mix until smooth. Sift in all the dry ingredients along with the ground nuts. Quickly knead the dough into a ball and refrigerate for two hours. Chilling the dough helps to make it easier to roll out and work with.

Step 4

Roll out the dough thinly and bake at 180°C (355°F) until golden brown, approximately 15-20 minutes. Let the base cool and then grind it in a kitchen machine to make small crumbs.

Step 5

Put the crumbs into a bowl and start gradually adding the milk. The dough should resemble modeling clay; it should not fall apart and should be easy to mold. Use as much or as little milk as needed to achieve the right consistency. Add the milk slowly to avoid making the dough too wet.

Step 6

Firmly press the dough into an even layer on the bottom and sides of a mold (16cm in diameter) and bake at 180°C (355°F) for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Make the cake filling: all ingredients should be at room temperature. Mix the cream cheese with sugar and peanut butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add the milk and mix again.

Step 8

Pour the filling onto the baked base and bake at 110°C (230°F) for 2 hours. Let the cake cool in the oven before refrigerating it for about 6 hours. Slow cooling helps to prevent cracks on the cheesecake surface.

Step 9

Decorate with caramel: combine the sugar and orange juice in a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until it turns amber in color. Remove from heat and carefully add the hot cream. Let it stand for 20 seconds and then stir with a silicone spatula. Be very careful when adding the cream, as the mixture will bubble vigorously.

Step 10

Add the butter and stir until fully incorporated. Finally, mix in the peanuts.

Step 11

Let the caramel cool slightly before pouring it over the cheesecake. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for another 2 hours to allow the caramel to set.

Step 12

Remove the cheesecake from the mold and serve. Enjoy!

Servings

Close your eyes and imagine the creamy texture of peanut butter cheesecake melting in your mouth, with a hint of caramel crunch adding the perfect contrast. This cheesecake pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. If you're feeling a bit adventurous, try serving it with a drizzle of warm chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of sea salt to heighten the flavors. For a more sophisticated presentation, garnish with chocolate curls or roasted peanuts. Whether it's a cozy family gathering or an elegant dinner party, this dessert is bound to be the star of the evening. Don’t forget to serve each slice with a smile and perhaps share the story of how you made this culinary masterpiece!
