This low carb No Bake Peanut Butter Cheesecake is so rich and decadent you only need a small piece to be satisfied. It is perfect for special occasions and holidays.
In a medium saucepan cook the butter, heavy cream, and sweetener over medium heat until bubbly and slightly thickened. Add the cacao butter and peanut butter powder and whisk until smooth. Put in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to thicken further. It should be the consistency of pancake batter before proceeding. You can make this part a day or two ahead of time.
Mix the gelatin into the cold water until dissolved. Whip the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the gelatin and mix well. Add the chilled peanut butter mixture and mix well.
Mix together the ingredients for the crust. Press into the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Chill for at least 8 hours.
Once the cheesecake has chilled you can unmold it and drizzle it with the white chocolate drizzle. To prepare the drizzle melt the cacao butter in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the sweetener. It will clump up. Thin it with the heavy cream 1 teaspoon at a time until it is the consistency of melted chocolate. Drizzle over the cheesecake.

You can store in the fridge for 5-7 days. To Freeze: You can freeze the entire cake or just individual servings in airtight containers. The cheesecake will last up to 2 months in the freezer. Thaw in the fridge or on the counter for a few minutes before serving.Prep Time:This is a make-ahead type of recipe. You need to begin at least 10-12 hours before you want to serve it. It's better to begin a couple of days ahead. Day 1: Make the white chocolate peanut butter sauce. Day 2: Put together the cheesecake and chill it. Day 3: Drizzle on the white chocolate and serve. There are a lot of steps but none of them are very time consuming or difficult.
