Ingredients

• 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Step 3

Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl and stir in the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust. Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.

Step 5

Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake for 35 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.

Step 7

Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.

Step 8

Pour the ganache over the cooled cheesecake layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.

Step 9

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the dessert out of the pan. Slice into squares or bars and serve chilled. Enjoy!
