Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 32 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup full-fat sour cream, room temperature
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for cookie dough)
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for cookie dough)
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- Additional mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
- Chocolate syrup or ganache (optional, for garnish)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan.
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies and combine with melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan and pre-bake for 8-10 minutes.
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and add granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in vanilla and sour cream, then gradually add eggs without overmixing, and fold in flour.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Wrap the springform pan in foil and pour the cheesecake filling over the crust. Bake in a water bath for 60-75 minutes.
- Let cool: turn off oven, leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for an hour, then cool entirely and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours.
- Make edible cookie dough by heat-treating flour and combining with softened butter, sugars, milk, and the rest of the flour. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Top the chilled cheesecake with cookie dough and chill again for 1-2 hours before serving.
- Serve garnished with optional toppings as desired.
Notes
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks.
