Ingredients

1 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (for stirring into the filling)
Additional cookie crumbs for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.

Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until fully incorporated.

3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful to maintain the light and airy texture.

4. Fold in the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the filling.

5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

6. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.

7. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and garnish the top with additional cookie crumbs.

Variations and Tips

For a more intense chocolate flavor, use double-stuffed sandwich cookies for the crust.
You can add a layer of chocolate ganache on top of the cheesecake before chilling for an extra touch.
Experiment with different flavorings by swapping the vanilla extract for mint or almond extract.
This recipe can also be made into individual cheesecakes by using small jars or cupcake liners for portion control and easy serving.
If you prefer a thicker cheesecake, reduce the heavy cream to ¾ cup and add an extra 4 oz of cream cheese.
