Cookies And Cream Cheesecake Recipe

Preparing the Crust

Begin by mixing the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter until the mixture is well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the base of your cheesecake, ensuring it is even and compact.

Making the Filling

In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese until smooth. Graditionally add in the sugar and salt, mixing well. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract. Fold in the crushed cookies, reserving some for topping. Pour the mixture over the crust in the springform pan.

Baking

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but slightly wobbly in the center. Let it cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight, which allows it to firm up.

Finishing Touches

Before serving, sprinkle the reserved crushed cookies on top for additional crunch and flavor. For a decorative touch, you can also add whipped cream or chocolate drizzle.
