Description

A fun and delicious cheesecake that combines creamy texture with a cookie crust, topped with chocolate and colorful candy melts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
  • 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • Sky blue gel paste food coloring
  • 3 eggs
  • 15 regular Oreo cookies (chopped)
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chocolate chip cookies (for garnish)
  • Blue candy melts (for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, salt, and brown sugar. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  4. Stir in half of the flour, then fold in the remaining flour and chocolate chips.
  5. Press the dough into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
  7. Beat together the cream cheese, cornstarch, and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  8. Add salt, cream, vanilla, and a few drops of blue food coloring. Mix until fully smooth.
  9. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  10. Fold in the chopped Oreo cookies.
  11. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled cookie crust.
  12. Wrap the pan in heavy-duty foil to prevent water from getting in. Place it in a larger pan with an inch or two of hot water.
  13. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes until the center jiggles slightly.
  14. Turn off the heat, crack the oven door, and cool for 30 minutes.
  15. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and water bath, then let it cool to room temperature (4-5 hours). Chill in the fridge overnight.
  16. Microwave the chocolate chips, whipped cream, and salt in 30-second intervals, stirring after each time. Let it cool until spreadable.
  17. Spread the ganache over the chilled cheesecake.
  18. Pipe swirls of ganache on top using a piping tip.
  19. Melt the blue candy melts and drizzle them over the cheesecake using a piping bag.
  20. Top the ganache swirls with chocolate chip cookies.
  21. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth mixing. Don’t skip the water bath to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
