Description
A rich and creamy cookies and cream cheesecake with a chocolate cookie crust, smooth vanilla filling packed with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, and a light whipped topping finished with extra cookie crumbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 6 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9 inch springform pan.
- Mix the crushed 24 cookies with melted butter until evenly combined.
- Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to form an even crust.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
- Fold in part of the crushed cookies, then pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Whip a portion of heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, spread over the chilled cheesecake, and sprinkle with the remaining crushed cookies before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
- Avoid overmixing after adding eggs to prevent cracks.
- For clean slices, use a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wipe between cuts.
