STEP BY STEP RECIPE
cookie dough
1)First step, crust
To prepare this delicious cookie dough cheesecake begin by greasing all the inside of a pan and then add a layer of parchment paper on the base.
Pour the edible cookie dough into the base of the pan and spread it evenly pressing it down firmly to create a compact and even crust. You should spread it all over the bottom and sides for better results.
cheesecake batter
2)Second step, cornstarch
In a separate bowl combine the cornstarch, milk powder and heavy cream. Whisk this mixture vigorously until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency ensuring that there are no remaining lumps of cornstarch in the batter.
3)Third step, eggs
In a clean and dry bowl, crack three eggs, add granulated sugar and whisk for about 1 minute to make sure both ingredients are well combined together.
4)Forth step, Rest of ingredients
Work the cream cheese with a spatula until it becomes smooth. Into the eggs you wanna add the rest of cheesecake ingredients.
Start by adding the cream cheese, condensed milk and greek yogurt. Then go ahead and add the cornstarch mixture and combine all the ingredients together using a whisk.
BAKE
5)Fifth step, oven
Preheat the oven to 160 C ( 320 F ).
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. After that time insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cheesecake, if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs is done.
Allow the cheesecake to cool down at least 5 hours, its better to leave it in the fridge overnight.
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.
