This is my favorite indulgence. And an indulgence it is! Very rich and will most definitely satisfy any sweet tooth! Pull cheesecakes out of freezer 30 minutes before serving.

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
¼ cup melted butter
1 ½ cups peanut butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 ½ cups shaved dark chocolate

Steps:

Line 10 muffin cups with paper liners.
Stir cookie crumbs and butter together in a bowl; press into the prepared muffin cups. Refrigerate chocolate crusts until chilled, about 15 minutes.
Beat peanut butter, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Spoon peanut mixture over the chocolate crusts; refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
Pour cream into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave until just before boiling, about 2 minutes. Stir chocolate into cream to melt. Refrigerate ganache until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
Beat ganache using an electric mixer until whipped; spread evenly over peanut butter mixture layer.
Freeze cheesecakes until solid, about 1 hour.
