  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
Cookie Dough
  • 3/4 cup cake mix (e.g., Funfetti)
  • 1/2 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons heat-treated all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pasteurized egg whites
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles
Cheesecake
  • 2 packages cream cheese, room temperature

  • 1/2 container whipped topping (about 4 ounces), thawed

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8 × 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. For the crust, grind the graham crackers into fine crumbs, mix with melted butter and brown sugar, press into the pan, and freeze to harden.
  3. For the cookie dough, whisk together cake mix, flour, cornstarch, and salt. Beat butter until creamy, add sugars and egg whites, then dry ingredients, and mix until combined.
  4. Chill 3/4 of the cookie dough, leave the remaining dough at room temperature.
  5. For the cheesecake, beat cream cheese until smooth, add granulated sugar and vanilla, mix, then fold in whipped topping and reserved cookie dough.
  6. Spread the cheesecake batter onto the crust, top with cookie dough pieces and sprinkles.
  7. Freeze for at least an hour or chill for 2 hours in the refrigerator before slicing.

Notes

Slice it with a knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts. Garnish with sprinkles or chocolate ganache for extra flair. Store wrapped in the pan with plastic wrap or an airtight lid.
