No Bake Cookie Dough Cheesecake – Easy Summer Dessert With Chocolate Chips
Ingredients
- Crust:
- ½ cup melted butter
- 300g chocolate sandwich cookies
- Cookie Dough:
- 1¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup softened butter
- 2¼ cups heat-treated all-purpose flour
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 750g cream cheese (full-fat)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies into a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and blend again until the mixture begins to stick together and forms a thick, cohesive texture.
Transfer the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Firmly press it into the bottom, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to smooth it out. Set aside.
2. Make the Cookie Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Add in the heat-treated flour, milk, vanilla, and salt, then stir until a soft dough forms.
If the dough feels too thick, add a small splash of milk to loosen it slightly. Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the cheesecake layer.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth and free of lumps. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue mixing until silky and well blended.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for achieving a light and airy texture.
Gently mix half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until incorporated. Add the remaining whipped cream and fold carefully to maintain the fluffy consistency.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake
Divide the chilled cookie dough into three portions. Roll one portion into a flat circle roughly the size of your pan and place it directly over the crust layer.
Shape the remaining dough into small bite-sized balls. Fold half of these into the cheesecake filling, saving the rest for topping.
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust and cookie dough layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
5. Chill
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or until fully set and firm.
6. Serve
Carefully remove from the pan. Top with whipped cream and the remaining cookie dough bites. Slice and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
