Ingredients
- 16 oz chocolate chip cookie dough, room temperature
- 36 oz brownie mix (2 boxes), batter prepared according to package instructions
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 40 double-stuffed chocolate cookie sandwiches
- Whipped cream, for serving
Preparation
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Prepare Pan: Line a 10-inch (25-cm) springform pan with 2 layers of plastic wrap long enough to hang over the sides.
- Cookie Dough Layer: Press the cookie dough evenly into a circle along the bottom of the pan, then fold the plastic wrap over the top. Unclasp the pan and freeze the cookie dough disk.
- Brownie Layer: Re-clasp the pan, then spray the bottom with cooking spray. Pour in the brownie batter.
- Press the Brownie: Spray the bottom and sides of a 5-inch (12-cm) or deeper, 8-inch (20-cm) wide cake pan, then press the greased cake pan into the brownie mix until the batter reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake Brownie: Bake for 35 minutes, then cool for about 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
- Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
- While the brownie is still warm, carefully rotate and press down on the inner cake pan using oven mitts or pads to push the cooked brownie even more up the sides of the springform pan into an even ring. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Cookie Layer: Arrange a single layer of the sandwich cookies, roughly 14-15, on the bottom of the brownie shell as close together as possible.
- Cheesecake Layer: Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the cookies and spread it evenly across the top. Tap the pan to release any large air bubbles.
- Bake Cheesecake: Bake for about 40 minutes until the cheesecake slightly jiggles in the center. Freeze until the top of the cheesecake is slightly firm, about 30 minutes.
- Final Layer: Arrange another layer of cookies on top of the cheesecake layer, then place the frozen cookie dough disk on top. Tuck in any edges.
- Bake and Chill: Bake for 20 minutes. Chill the cheesecake completely.
- Serve: Release the pan, slice, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream topped with another cookie!
Notes:
- This decadent dessert combines the best of cookies, brownies, and cheesecake in one indulgent treat.
- Be sure to chill the cheesecake thoroughly before serving for the best texture.
