Hi Bold Bakers! Cheesecakes can come in all different shapes and flavors but this Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake is not your Granny’s cheesecake! Unless your granny made cheesecake with a giant cookie on the bottom, then it is quite accurate. Already have an account? This Cheesecake has a giant cookie base, cookie flavored cream cheese filling, and Cookie Sprinkles on top!!! Every layer is cookie! EVERY LAYER! I love the idea of a whole cookie as the base. Why wasn’t I doing this all along? It’s less work because you don’t need to blend cookies up into crumbs and although it’s not a No-Bake Cheesecake, it is a No-Fuss Cheesecake. I covered the top of my Cheesecake with Cookie Sprinkles! Yes, you read that right. Essentially they are teenie tiny cookies but I prefer Cookie Sprinkles. I just can’t believe I never thought of a cookie sprinkle either! And all you need is my Best-Ever Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe to make these Sprinkles and the Cookie Base.
Do you need to know How to Make Cream Cheese to make this recipe? I have you covered. I have a fantastic recipe for Homemade Cream Cheese using just 2 ingredients and it takes no time at all to make. As with most of my Cheesecakes, there is no gelatin or eggs used to set the Cheesecake. However it will need a good 12 hours in the fridge and preferably overnight. The colder it is the firmer the texture will be.
If cream cheese is particularly soft in your country, and you would like to add gelatin to it to ensure you get a firm cheesecake, then mix 2 teaspoons of cooled, melted gelatin into 4 tablespoons of cream. Then swiftly fold it into the whipped cream cheese.
