  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4.4 oz (1 cup) all-purpose flour

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, and dust the sides with flour.
  2. For the Blondie: In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter, salt, and brown sugar together. Once cooled, whisk in the egg and vanilla. Fold in the flour and mini chocolate chips. Spread into the pan and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool and reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  3. For the Cheesecake: In a bowl, whip the cream cheese, cornflour, and sugar until smooth. Add salt, whipping cream, blue coloring, and vanilla. Mix, then add eggs one at a time and fold in crushed Oreos.
  4. Pour the cheesecake batter over the blondie.
  5. Wrap the pan in foil, place it in a larger tray, and fill with hot water. Bake for 60-70 minutes until slightly jiggly. Let it cool in the oven.
  6. For the Ganache: Melt chocolate chips with cream and salt until smooth, then cool.
  7. Once the cheesecake is chilled, spread ganache on top and decorate with mini chocolate chip cookies. Slice and enjoy!

How to Serve Cookie Monster Cheesecake

Serve your Cookie Monster Cheesecake chilled. It’s perfect for parties when sliced into generous pieces. You can also accompany it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some whipped cream on the side for extra delight!

How to Store Cookie Monster Cheesecake

Store any leftovers in the fridge. Simply cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. It will keep well for about 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months. Just make sure to wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn.

Tips to Make Cookie Monster Cheesecake

  • Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting, especially the cream cheese, for a smooth batter.
  • When melting chocolate for the ganache, do it over low heat to avoid burning.
  • Don’t overmix your cheesecake batter after adding the eggs; this will help prevent cracks in your cheesecake.

Variation

You can change the color of the cheesecake to match different themes by using different gel food coloring. Try using pink for a fun Valentine’s Day cheesecake or green for St. Patrick’s Day!

FAQs

1. Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?
Yes, you can use any cookie you like! Just make sure it’s a cookie that complements the flavors, like chocolate chip cookies.

2. How do I know when the cheesecake is done baking?
The edges should be set while the center remains slightly jiggly. It will firm up as it cools.

3. Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Absolutely! This cheesecake is great to prepare one or two days in advance. Just keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it.

Enjoy making and indulging in this delightful Cookie Monster Cheesecake—it’s sure to be a hit!
