Directions
Crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the Peanut-Free Spread, sugar, and egg until combined.
- Press the cookie batter into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until slightly crisp and no longer shiny. Allow the crust to cool completely before continuing with the recipe.
Filling
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat cream cheese on medium, scraping down the bowl as necessary, until completely smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add sugar and salt and beat, scraping down the bowl as necessary, until smooth and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add vanilla and beat for 30 seconds.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating for one minute after each addition and occasionally scraping bottom and sides of the bowl. Add the Peanut-Free Spread, heavy cream, and sour cream and beat on low until completely smooth and streak-free, about one minute. Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with a double layer of aluminum foil and place in a large roasting pan. Pour in enough boiling water to come up halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake the cheesecake until the top is just starting to brown and crack, about 30 minutes. Turn off the oven, prop the door open with a wooden spoon, and let the cheesecake slowly cool in the water bath for 30 minutes.
- Remove the roasting pan from the oven, then carefully lift the springform pan out of the water and remove foil. Set cheesecake on a rack and let come to room temperature. Once completely cool, loosely cover cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours, or preferably overnight.
