This Cookie Monster Cheesecake starts off with a chocolate chip cookie crust and is then layered with homemade cookie and chocolate chip infused blue cheesecake.

Ingredients

  • 18 Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
  • 2 (8 Oz.) Packages Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 C. Natural Sweetener
  • 1/2 C. Brown Sugar Blend
  • 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt
  • 1/2 C. Reduced Fat Sour Cream
  • 2 Whole Large Eggs
  • 1/2 C. Oreo Cookie Crumbs
  • 1/4 C. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Blue or Teal Food Coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and prepare a 8" or 9" springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment and giving it and the sides a light coat of non-stick baking spray. Wrap the bottom with foil to prevent any leaking.
  2. Press the cookie dough evenly down into the bottom of the prepared springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. Remove the cookie crust from the oven to cool when it's done and then reduce the oven temperature to 325 F.
  4. While the crust is baking, in the base of a stand mixer, beat the 2 (8 Oz.) Packages Reduced Fat Cream Cheese along with 1/2 C. Natural Sweetener, 1/2 C. Brown Sugar Blend, 1 Tsp. Vanilla, 1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt.
  5. Beat in the 1/2 C. Reduced Fat Sour Cream and Blue Food Coloring until smooth and creamy.
  6. Finally, add in the 2 Whole Large Eggs and mix only until just combined.
  7. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust.
  8. Fill a baking sheet with hot water and set the cheesecake in the water bath. Transfer to the oven to cool for about an hour or until the middle is mostly set but still just a little jiggly.
  9. Turn the oven off and prop the door open with a wooden spoon; leave the cheesecake to sit there for 30 minutes.
  10. After 30 minutes, remove the cheesecake to the counter to cool for another 30 minutes then transfer to the fridge for at least 8 hours to chill and set.
  11. When the cheesecake has chilled, top with any additional cookie crumbs, or ganache drizzle, slice and serve to enjoy!
