How to Make Decadent Cheesecake Swirled with Cookie Dough

Making this cheesecake is easier than you might think! Just follow the simple steps below and you will have a delicious dessert ready to enjoy.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer.

  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add each egg one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until everything is fully combined.

  3. Create the Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until smooth. Next, add the flour, salt, and chocolate chips, stirring until a dough forms.

  4. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough evenly over this filling. Top it off with the remaining cheesecake filling, spreading it out evenly. Add more spoonfuls of cookie dough on top and lightly swirl them into the filling with a knife for a marbled look.

  5. Bake and Chill: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is almost set. After baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight before serving.
