Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers or additional crushed cookies
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

For the Filling

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups cookie chunks (chocolate chip, sandwich cookies, or your favorite cookies)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Crust: Crush your cookies or graham crackers into fine crumbs. Melt the butter and mix it thoroughly with the crumbs until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or pie dish to create an even, compact crust. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling.
  2. Whip the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well to eliminate lumps. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, velvety cheesecake base.
  3. Incorporate Cookie Chunks: Roughly chop your cookies into bite-sized pieces. Carefully fold these cookie chunks into the cream cheese filling, distributing them evenly for maximum cookie bursts in every slice.
  4. Assemble and Chill: Pour the cookie-studded filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the cheesecake to set completely and develop its dense, creamy texture.

Notes

  • Keep cream cheese and heavy cream cold before mixing to ensure the best texture.
  • Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain lightness and avoid deflating the filling.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
  • Use cookie chunks instead of crumbs inside the filling to enjoy more cookie texture and flavor bursts.
  • Fresh cream and quality cookies improve the flavor significantly.
