Method
 

Make the Crust

Prepare the Cheesecake Layer
  1. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of softened cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add in 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well, then incorporate 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk powder, and 1 cup of peanut butter. Spoon the filling into the chilled crust.
Make the Ganache
  1. Combine 8 ounces of chopped dark chocolate with 1/2 cup of heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Pour over the cheesecake layer and chill for 30 minutes to set.
Whip the Cream
  1. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Keep chilled until ready.
Assemble and Decorate
