Cookie dough
It’s really important that we use edible cookie dough for this recipe or it would end up being to doughy when mixing it with the cheesecake batter, it would cook differently and it would not be as good.
You can use any edible cookie dough recipe you want but here is our delicious edible cookie dough recipe made with brown butter. It’s so good you will never be able to stop eating it.

Break small chunks of cookie dough and spread it all over the cheesecake. You can add all the cookie dough you want and bake at 160 C ( 320 F ) for about 1h 30 minutes.

GANACHE
6)Sixth step, ganache
Once the cheesecake is cold and ready to decorate you can start preparing the ganache.
Start by chopping chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. In a pan you wanna warm up the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Immediately pour the heavy cream over the chocolate and stir with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted. Let it cool at room temperature for a couple minutes but make sure to not let it harden.
WHIPPING CREAM
7)Seventh step, whipping cream
Start beating the heavy whipping cream with granulated sugar on medium low speed using an electric mixer and gradually increase the speed to medium high speed. It starts becoming frothy, then you will see soft peaks appearing on the cream and finally it will reach the desired consistency of stiff peaks. Don’t over-beat the cream!
decorate
8)Eight step, decorate
Pour the chocolate ganache all over the cheesecake, add chocolate chips on the sides and then add whipping cream on top. Decorate with more cookie dough and its ready to eat! I hope you enjoy this recipe.
