Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake

Whisk the cream cheese with the sugar and peanut butter. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking constantly. Crumble the cookies very finely (best in a food processor or in a freezer bag) and mix with the melted butter. Pour the cookie mixture into a 26cm springform pan lined with baking paper or greased with baking paper, press firmly, and spread the cheese mixture evenly over it. Bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes, until the cheese mixture is firm. Melt the chocolate and butter over a pan of simmering water and spread evenly over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with nuts and store in a cool place until ready to serve.
