Recipe by: Rebecca Oeswein <oeswein@dadd.ti.com>
Preheat oven to 300 F.

In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar
until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs,
one at a time. Add vanilla, beat until smooth. Add
heavy cream, beat till well blended.

Transfer 1/3 of batter to another bowl and set aside.
Beat melted chocolate into remaining batter. Pour
into crust. With mixer on medium speed, beat peanut
butter into remaining 1/3 batter until thoroughly
mixed. Carefully spoon peanut butter mixture on top
of chocolate cheese mixture in pan. Using the long
handle of a wooden spoon, swirl the two flavors
together.

Bake about 1 hour, or until cheesecake is set around
edges and puffed but still jiggles slightly in the
center. Let cake cool 2 hours, then refrigerate until
well chilled, 8 hrs. or overnight.

For a crust, I use Oreo cookie crumbs and make a crust
using their recipe. I also do not swirl the flavors
together. I like them layered better.
