1-Forming the Crust: Begin by combining the crust ingredients. First step: In a food processor, blend ½ cup melted butter and 300 grams chocolate sandwich cookies until they form a smooth mixture that clumps into a ball. This creates a solid base for your no bake cookie dough cheesecake. Press this mixture firmly into a 9-inch springform pan, making sure it’s even for a professional look.

2-Preparing the Cookie Dough: Second step: In a large bowl, mix 1¼ cup brown sugar with ½ cup softened butter until creamy. Third step: Add in 2¼ cups all-purpose flour (make sure it’s heat-treated for safety), 5 tablespoons milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and ½ teaspoon salt. Stir everything until it forms a dough, then fold in ¾ cup mini chocolate chips. For a gluten-free version, use oat flour here to adapt for dietary needs. Chill this dough in the refrigerator while you move on.

3-Making the Cheesecake Filling: Fourth step: In another bowl, beat 750 grams cream cheese until it’s smooth and lump-free. Fifth step: Mix in 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla, beating until fully combined. Sixth step: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form; this adds air and structure. Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then add the rest for a light, airy filling in your cookie dough cheesecake.

4-Assembling the Cheesecake: Seventh step: Divide the chilled cookie dough into thirds. Roll one third into a circle that fits your pan and place it on the crust. Roll the remaining dough into small balls mix half of these into the cheesecake filling for added texture. For variations, you could use low-calorie substitutes if needed. Eighth step: Spread the filling evenly over the crust and dough layer, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours to set properly.

5-Finishing Touches: Final step: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the pan. Top it with whipped cream and the reserved cookie dough balls for garnish. Serve immediately or store for up to 5 days.
