  10. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
  11. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  12. Prepare the chocolate ganache by heating heavy cream and pouring it over chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.
  13. Make the whipped cream by whipping cold heavy cream until soft peaks form; add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and peanut butter.
