Instructions
 

edible cookie dough

  • In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Beat on medium until incorporated.
    Add in the almond flour. Beat on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute. The mixture may be crumbly. Add 1 tablespoon of milk as needed until the dough resembles a normal cookie dough consistency. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Chill the cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes or freezer for 15-20 to set enough to roll into balls.
    Take out the cookie dough. Grab a "pinch" of dough and roll into a small ball of cookie dough. This should be a little larger than a chickpea, but smaller than a melon ball (about ½ tsp). Set on a lined plate or baking sheet. Return to the freezer while preparing the cheesecake.

no bake cheesecake

  • Oreo crust: Line the bottom and sides of a 9" (23cm) springform pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
    Place the oreos and salt in a food processor. Process in pulses until the cookies resemble grains of sand.
    Pour in the (6 tbsp) melted butter. Process in pulses until the crust comes together in larger clumps. Pinch a little between your fingers. The mixture should hold together easily. Start with 6 tablespoon butter, add more as needed up to 2 tablespoon more (for a total of 8 tbsp).
    Pour the crushed oreo mixure into the lined 9" (23cm) springform pan. Evenly press the crust across the bottom. The crust will naturally go up the sides slightly. If you want a bit of a side crust, press the edges about 1" up the sides.
    Place the pan in the freezer to chill while you prepare the filling.
  • No Bake Cheesecake: In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 20-30 second increments until fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
    In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
    Add vanilla extract, sour cream, powdered sugar, and salt. Beat on low, increasing to medium speed until well combined and creamy. 
    Pour in the melted (cooled) white chocolate and heavy cream. Beat on medium, increasing to high speed until thickened to a medium firm peak (the peak will fold down). Fold in the the mini chocolate chips and about ¾ of the frozen cookie dough balls.
    Pour the chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake into the prepared oreo crust.
    Chill the entire cheesecake in the freezer for 2 hours. After 2 hours, wrap the entire pan in plastic wrap. Chill an additional 2 hours – overnight in the freezer.
    If freezing longer than 4-6 hours total, wrap the top with foil.

Topping and Serving

  • About 1 hour before serving, make the chocolate ganache.
    To make the ganache, place evenly chopped chocolate or chips and heavy whipping cream into a heat safe bowl. Place the bowl with the chocolate and cream on top of a small or medium pot filled with about an inch of water. The bowl should not touch the water. 
    Heat the bowl of chocolate and cream until the chocolate has mostly melted. Stir frequently to encourage the chocolate to melt and to prevent the cream from bubbling too much. 
    Remove the bowl from the heat. Whisk or stir in any stray pieces of chocolate until they have fully melted into the ganache. Let the mixture sit for 5 -10 minutes. Chill in the fridge for 5-10 minutes or until cool to the touch, but still liquid.
  • Once cooled, pour the ganache on top of the frozen cheesecake (still in the pan). Return the cheesecake back to the freezer (uncovered) for about 30 minutes to set the ganache.
  • When ready to serve: about 20-30 minutes before serving, allow the frozen cheesecake to sit at room temperature. Depending on the temperature of the room, this could happen faster, or take a little longer. 
    Right before serving, top the cheesecake with the remaining cookie dough balls. Slice and serve.
