Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tsp vegetable oil
16 oz your favorite chocolate chip cookies, (ready-to-eat), reserving 4 ounces
6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate morsels
8 oz milk chocolate morsels
8 oz dark chocolate morsels
1/2 c white granulated sugar
3 c cream cheese, at room temperature
2 c heavy whipping cream
8 Tbsp hazelnut liqueur
1 c sour cream, (optional) for plating/garnish
12 fresh strawberries, (optional) for plating/garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Place a circle of parchment paper cut to fit an 10 inch round spring-form cake pan in the bottom of the pan. Brush the SIDES of the pan with the oil.
  • 2. Place the ready to use cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or your hand until in small bits.
  • 3. Place 12 ounces (about 2/3) of the crushed cookies in a bowl and add in the melted butter and stir until well mixed. Press the cookie-butter mixture into the bottom of the parchment lined cake pan. Place the pan in refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
  • 4. Place ALL the chocolate morsels in a metal or glass heatproof bowl and set it over a pan of simmering water to melt. Stir it every few minutes. This steps takes about 15 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and allow it to cool.
  • 5. While chocolate cools, whip the heavy whipping cream in a separate mixing bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks forms. Keep cold and set aside.
  • 6. In another bowl add the sugar and cream cheese and beat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Fold in the cooled chocolate and prepared whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and then stir in the liqueur.
  • 7. Spoon the chocolate mixture into the spring-form cake pan that contains the cookie layer. Smooth the surface. Take the reserved 4 ounces of the crushed cookies and sprinkle them lightly over the entire top of the cheesecake. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
  • 8. When ready to serve, remove from the refrigerator, then open and remove the sides of the spring-form cake pan and transfer the chilled cheesecake to a cake platter. Cut into slices. Plate each serving portion with a nice dollop of sour cream and strawberries (both optional). Cover and chill any leftovers!
