Instructions
- Craft the chocolate chip cookie foundation by combining dry ingredients through sifting, ensuring a smooth, lump-free base for the crust.
- Cream butter and sugars until achieving a light, airy texture that provides structure and sweetness to the cookie layer.
- Incorporate vanilla and egg into the mixture, blending thoroughly to create a cohesive cookie dough base.
- Gradually fold in flour mixture and chocolate chips, gently mixing to maintain the dough’s delicate consistency.
- Press the prepared cookie dough evenly into a prepared springform pan, creating a uniform crust that will support the cheesecake.
- Bake the cookie crust until golden and set, allowing it to develop a crisp, sturdy foundation for the upcoming layers.
- While the crust cools, prepare the edible cookie dough by whisking flour and salt to eliminate any potential clumping.
- Whip butter and sugars until reaching a fluffy, cloudlike consistency that promises a smooth, creamy texture.
- Introduce vanilla and milk to the mixture, creating a silky base for the cookie dough.
- Gently fold in dry ingredients and chocolate chips, forming small, freezable dough spheres.
- Chill the cookie dough balls to maintain their shape and provide textural contrast in the final dessert.
- Lower the oven temperature to create optimal conditions for the cheesecake’s delicate baking process.
- Blend cream cheese and sugar until achieving a velvety, smooth consistency without any lumps.
- Incorporate vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream, creating a rich, luxurious cheesecake base.

- Fold in mini chocolate chips and frozen cookie dough balls, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Carefully place the cheesecake in a water bath, protecting it from direct heat and promoting even baking.
- Prepare the chocolate ganache by heating cream and pouring it over chocolate chips, stirring until achieving a glossy, smooth finish.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until forming stiff, billowy peaks.
- Once the cheesecake has cooled completely, drape it with the silky ganache and pipe elegant cream rosettes.
- Garnish with reserved cookie dough balls and mini chocolate chips, creating a visually stunning and indulgent dessert.
