Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake with a Shortbread Crust

The April 2009 challenge is hosted by Jenny from Jenny Bakes. She has chosen Abbey's Infamous Cheesecake as the challenge.

As you may know, I've made vegan cheesecake a few times. Every time I've made cheesecake, however, I have never made my own crust. This month's Daring Baker's challenge has given me the motivation and opportunity to make my own crust, which I think turned out great. Related posts:

Lest you think that I have been unusually obsessed with making vegan cheesecake lately, let me reassure you. I have and I haven't. :) First off, my husband made that vegan chocolate cheesecake and I am the one who made the raspberry sauce. Secondly, I did make the vegan peanut butter chocolate cheesecake but it was for my husband's birthday. Finally, I take no blame for making these cute little creamy pops. I had been seeing banners for The Daring Bakers on other cooking blogs for a while, and finally decided to investigate further. I hadn't realized it, but being a member of The Daring Bakers means you have to participate in monthly baking challenges. I'm always up for a challenge, so I decided to join. So there you go. The Daring Bakers are at fault for making me make cheesecake again. I'm not upset about it at all though. Related posts:

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake

One year ago we embarked on the vegan cheesecake quest. It was my husband's birthday and I made him a cheesecake from Fatfree Vegan Kitchen. We didn't love that first cheesecake, but the texture was there, as well as the creaminess. It seemed that we had a mission. My husband had that gleam in his eyes that he sometimes gets when he sees a worthy challenge set before him. This year it's a different gleam, because now peanut butter has entered the picture and we've both realized that the possible flavors are endless. Related posts:

Vegan Chocolate Cheesecake

When my husband and I were vegetarians his favorite dessert was cheesecake. I actually did not like it that much, so when we became vegan it was no big loss to me. Several months ago, however, it was his birthday and I thought I'd try to make a vegan version. I am a big one for following recipes pretty closely, so in the end we did not like it that much, but it set my husband on a crusade to perfect the recipe. We have since discovered, through the trial and error of multiple cheesecakes, that it is best made with chocolate. Chocolate does solve a lot of things in my mind, and it has surpassed the task with this recipe, which my husband made.
