Instructions
Chocolate crust
1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) using the convection setting.
2. Melt the butter and mix with all the other ingredients for the crust in a medium-sized bowl.
3. Spread the mixture in the bottom of a 9" (23 cm) springform pan.
4. Bake for 10 minutes, remove and let cool at room temperature.
Peanut butter filling
1. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) using the convection setting.
2. Mix cream cheese softened at room temperature, crème fraîche, and eggs until smooth. Add sweetener, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and mix until incorporated.
3. Pour the filling over the bottom and tap the form gently against the counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
4. Bake the cheesecake for 10 minutes. Lower the temperature to 200°F (100°C) and keep baking for 25 minutes more. The cake should be wobbly but not liquid when shaking it gently.
5. Turn off the oven but leave the cake in there with the door open for 2 hours.
The topping
1. Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave in 20-second intervals. Stir to combine. You can also use a double-boiler for this step.
2. Pour the mixture over the cheesecake and place in the fridge for at least two hours to allow the cheesecake and chocolate to set completely.
3. If you feel like garnishing the cake like we did you can use fresh flowers and edible gold dust. Make sure to use flowers that are safe to use in contact with food.
