Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs (about 15 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

For the Filling

  • 24 oz (680 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 10–15 drops blue food coloring
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream
  • 1 cup chopped chocolate sandwich cookie pieces (from about 8 cookies)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Start by crushing your chocolate sandwich cookies until fine crumbs form. Mix these crumbs with melted butter to create a sticky, flavorful base. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust and refrigerate it while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Creamy Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add granulated sugar, then one egg at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract, blue food coloring, and sour cream or heavy cream to enhance both color and creaminess.
  3. Fold in Cookie Pieces: Gently fold in chopped chocolate sandwich cookie pieces into the batter. This step ensures that each bite offers delicious pockets of cookie crunch that complement the creamy cheesecake.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center slightly jiggles. This delicate baking process maintains a soft and creamy consistency.
  5. Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours or overnight. Chilling helps the flavors meld and improves the overall texture, making slicing easier and cleaner.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • Mix just enough to combine ingredients to prevent excess air that can cause cracks during baking.
  • Consider baking the cheesecake in a water bath to maintain moisture and prevent cracking.
  • Use a springform pan to make removing the cheesecake easier without damaging its edges.
  • Let the cheesecake cool slowly at room temperature before refrigerating to avoid sudden temperature shocks that can crack the surface.
