These easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars are a decadent treat made with a crunchy chocolate chip cookie base, a creamy chocolate chip filling, melted chocolate and chocolate chip cookies. Serve as dessert.
Blitz chocolate chip cookies in a food processor until they reach a crumb-like consistency. If you don't have a food processor, place the cookies in a sandwich bag and crush them using a rolling pin or a similar blunt object.
Combine the cookie crumbs with melted unsalted butter in a medium-sized bowl, stirring until the mixture is well incorporated.
Transfer the cookie mixture into a square springform pan, ensuring it is evenly spread and firm. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, whisk cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a separate bowl until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream, gently folding or whisking it into the mixture until it is well combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Grab the cookie crust from the refrigerator. Pour the cheesecake filling onto the crust, using a smoother to ensure an even surface.
Pour a layer of melted dark chocolate over the cheesecake, smoothing it out for a uniform finish.
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours to allow it to set.
Once the cheesecake has set, garnish it with whipped cream and a cookie. Use a warm knife to cut the cheesecake into equal-sized squares.
Enjoy these delicious chocolate chip cheesecake bars.
