Peanut Butter Light Cheesecake

I love peanut cake and cookies. Is not always a like of others. Especially nuts can cause allergy and it can be a deadly thing.

I intend to bake a round whole Peanut Butter Light Cheesecake but since my hubby is not a peanut lover I probably will end up having it most by my own , so I decided to half the recipe and bake a rectangle shape Peanut Butter Light Cheesecake.
