Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheesecake Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
  2. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, combining carefully to maintain a light and airy texture.
  3. Make Cookie Dough: In another bowl, blend the softened butter with the all-purpose flour and chocolate chips until a cohesive cookie dough forms, making sure the chocolate chips are evenly distributed.
  4. Prepare Crust: Press the graham cracker crumbs firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even crust layer, which will serve as the base of the cheesecake.
  5. Layer the Cheesecake: Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust, then add dollops of the cookie dough evenly over this layer. Carefully spread the remaining cheesecake mixture on top to cover the cookie dough layer completely.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the layered cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly for the best texture and flavor development.
  7. Serve: Once set, gently remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice with a clean, sharp knife and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with additional chocolate chips, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce for an enhanced presentation.

Notes

  • For added texture, incorporate nuts or different types of chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
  • Always use room temperature ingredients, especially cream cheese and butter, to ensure smooth mixing without lumps.
  • Top servings with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce to enhance presentation and flavor.
  • Use a clean, sharp knife and wipe between slices for neat cuts.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic and foil for extended storage, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
