Cookie Dough Cheesecake

The great spirit has offered us many sweet and delicious treats, but few are as outstanding as the Cookie Dough Cheesecake. This amazing dessert fuses two timeless favorites, velvety cheesecake, and soft cookie dough, into one mouth-watering experience. 

Ingredients for Cookie Dough Cheesecake:

Crust

Graham crackers:  For a delicious and crunchy base, graham crackers are the perfect choice for cheesecake. By breaking the crackers down into fine crumbs and mixing them with melted butter, the crust is formed and helps hold the dessert in place.

Butter: The melted butter contributes to the cohesiveness of the graham cracker crumb crust and brings an added layer of richness with its buttery flavor.

Filling

Cream cheese: It is the key ingredient responsible for the creamy texture of the cheesecake filling. To achieve a smooth result, it is important to soften the cream cheese before combining it with the other ingredients.

Sugar: By adding sugar, the filling becomes sweeter and the sharpness of the cream cheese is harmonized.

Eggs: The eggs enhance the thickness and firmness of the cheesecake filling, making it set properly.

Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract boosts the flavor of the cheesecake filling, resulting in a classic and sweet taste.

Flour: To give the cheesecake filling a thicker consistency and keep it from breaking apart, flour is utilized.

Chocolate chips: Chocolate chips add a burst of sweetness and texture to the filling, making it extra special and indulgent.

Mini chocolate chips: To make the cookie dough topping, smaller chocolate chips are utilized. Their small size enables an even spread of chocolate throughout.

How to make Cookie Dough Cheesecake:

Set the oven to 325 °F.

In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the melted butter with the graham cracker crumbs.

In the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, press the mixture firmly

For ten minutes, bake.

Cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla essence should be thoroughly mixed in a big basin. Add the flour and chocolate chips after that.

When the sides of the crust have hardened and the middle is still slightly jiggling, pour the mixture into the crust and bake for a minimum of 40 minutes, up to 45 minutes.

Once the cheesecake is finished baking, let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Combine the butter, sugar, flour, vanilla, and micro chocolate chips to make the cookie dough topping. After the cheesecake has cooled, pour the mixture over it and place it in the fridge to set.

My Best Tips for chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake:

• To guarantee a smooth mixture with the other components, it’s important to have the cream cheese in a softened state before using it.
• Using a low speed when mixing the filling helps to minimize the amount of air incorporated, thus reducing the risk of cracks appearing in the cheesecake.
• The cheesecake must be completely cooled before extraction from the pan to preserve its structure.
• Allow the cheesecake to chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours to give it time to settle and become properly set.
