For the crust

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened 2 blocks
  • ½ cup sour cream, room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or regular chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or shortening
  • Extra chocolate chip cookies, crumbled for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate chip cookies with melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a crust.
  3. Bake for about 10 minutes until slightly golden, then let it cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add in sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well blended.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Assemble and Bake
  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle.
Chill & Set
  1. Allow cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Decorate & Serve
  1. Melt the vegetable oil or shortening and mix in the extra chocolate chips. Sprinkle on top of the cheesecake.
  2. Crumble a few extra chocolate chip cookies on top for garnish.
  3. Slice and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for the best results. Don't overbake the cheesecake; it should be creamy with a slight jiggle in the center.
