A decadent dessert that combines the gooey goodness of cookie dough with the creamy richness of cheesecake. This indulgent treat is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chocolate chip cookie dough, softened
Instructions:
Make the crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, butter, sugar, and salt. Mix until crumbly.
- Press the crumbly mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Let cool completely.
Make the filling:
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Gently fold in the softened cookie dough.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
Bake:
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Serve:
- Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan.
- Remove the springform pan side.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate chips in your cookie dough.
- To make the cookie dough extra soft, microwave it for a few seconds before adding it to the filling.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the crust.
- Garnish with additional chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Enjoy this delicious and indulgent dessert!
