Ingredients:

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream, cold
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature (three 8-ounce blocks)
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted, divided (1 cup mixed with the cream cheese, ½ cup mixed with the heavy cream)
  • 1 ¼ cups heavy cream, very cold
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces whipped topping, see tips and link for Stabilized Whipped Cream
  • 2 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 10 edible cookie dough balls, from the above recipe.
  • Cookie Dough Base

    This cookie dough base is the perfect foundation for our no-bake cheesecake. It’s firm enough to hold its shape but has that irresistible chewy, slightly sandy texture that we all adore.

  • Prepare the Cookie Dough Base: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, softened unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cold heavy cream, 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. This mixture will resemble coarse crum extractbs. Stir in 1 ¼ cups of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a glass or a flat measuring cup to create a compact and smooth layer. You want this base to be sturdy, so don’t be shy with the pressing! Then, chill the base in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the cheesecake filling. This chilling step is crucial for preventing the base from crum extractbling when you slice the cheesecake.
  • Creamy Cheesecake Filling

    This is where the magic happens. The cream cheese filling is luxuriously smooth and perfectly balances the sweetness of the cookie dough.

  • Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s completely smooth and free of lumps. This is where having your cream cheese at room temperature really pays off; it makes it so much easier to achieve that silky texture. Gradually beat in 1 cup of the sifted powdered sugar until well combined and smooth. Next, stir in 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  • Whip the Cream: In a separate, very cold bowl (you can even pop it in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand), whip the 1 ¼ cups of very cold heavy cream with the remaining ½ cup of sifted powdered sugar and another 1 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract. Whip until medium-stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip, or you’ll end up with butter! You want it fluffy and airy, but still able to hold its shape.
  • Combine and Fold: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. You want to combine them until just blended, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. You should have a light and airy cheesecake filling. Now, gently fold in the 8 ounces of whipped topping. This adds an extra layer of lightness and helps the cheesecake set beautifully without baking.
  • Assembly and Finishing Touches

    The final steps are all about bringin extractg together all those delicious components and making it look as good as it tastes.

  • Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the creamy cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled cookie dough base in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Decorate and Chill: Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top of the cheesecake. Then, arrange the 10 edible cookie dough balls decoratively on top. You can make these ahead of time using your favorite edible cookie dough recipe or purchase them. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until it is firm and set. This is the most important step for a no-bake cheesecake – patience is key for it to set properly.
  • Once chilled, carefully run a knife around the edge of the springform pan before releasing the sides. Slice and serve this incredible No Bake Cookie Dough Cheesecake! Each bite is a delightful combination of creamy cheesecake, chewy cookie dough, and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chips. Enjoy!
