1/3 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup canola oil
16 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tbsp half & half
2 tsp vanilla
Peanut Butter & Co. White Chocolatey Wonderful
shortening to grease
For the toppings 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped 3/4 cup half & half 1/2 cup crushed peanuts 1/2 cup white chocolate chips more melted White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter for drizzling
Directions
- Amply grease a 10” springform pan with shortening.
- In a food processor grind the chocolate wafers into fine crumbs. Next add the coconut oil and canola oil, pulsing until all crumbs are evenly coated. Transfer to the bottom of the greased springform pan, spreading out into an even layer. Gently smooth with the back of the tablespoon, then place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, clean out the food processor.
- When ready, add the cream cheese, sugar, half & half, and vanilla to the food processor, pulsing until well combined. Next, in a heatproof bowl soften the Peanut Butter & Co. White Chocolatey Wonderful in the microwave for 30 seconds, then add to the food processor. Again pulse until thoroughly mixed. Lastly pour the cream cheese mixture over the frozen crust, using a spatula to smooth the surface. Freeze for 8 hours or overnight.
- Once the cake is completely frozen, prepare the topping. In a small saucepan heat the dark chocolate over a low flame until melted, then quickly whisk in the half & half to create a ganache. Pour the ganache over the top of the frozen cake, spreading as evenly as possible and allowing it to just creep over the edge of the cake. Top with crushed peanuts, white chocolate chips, and Peanut Butter & Co. White Chocolatey Wonderful drizzle, then freeze for another 10 minutes. When ready, slice, and serve!
