Peanut Butter Cheescake

By Nigella: I feel a bit apologetic for the overindulgent vulgarity that is this cheesecake here. But, really, why should I be sorry? You won't be once you've eaten it; though perhaps I should warn that its not for the faint-hearted. Unashamed indulgence, wallowingly so, is what this recipe is all about.
