Ingredients
For the Cheesecake:
1 small package chocolate chip cookie dough (you will only need about 10 ounces)
2 packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
½ cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs, at room temperature
½ cup mini chocolate chips
Mini chocolate chip cookies, mini chocolate chips and/or whipped cream for topping (optional)
For the ganache topping:
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Before you begin, please make sure that all cold ingredients are warmed to room temperature including the cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs.
- Prepare a 7” springform pan with a circle of parchment or wax paper on the bottom and spray the inside of the pan with nonstick spray.
- Take 10 ounces of cookie dough and press into the bottom of the pan evently to make the crust. If you want a crispy crust, bake it for 8-10 minutes at 350°F. Set aside the unbaked or baked crust.
- Using an electric mixer, cream the cream cheese until light and fluffy, make sure there are no lumps, this should take 5-7 minutes.
- Once there are no lumps remaining, add in the granulated sugar, sour cream and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add the eggs and prick the yolks, Gently fold this mixture over and over until the eggs are well incorporated. I do not recommend using an electric mixer for this step.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cookie dough crust. Completely wrap and cover the pan with aluminum foil.
- Prepare your Instant Pot by placing the trivet inside along with 1 cup of water.
- Add the cheesecake on top of the trivet carefully and place the lid on sealing.
- Using the manual button, cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. Allow to naturally release.
- Once you can open the pot, remove the cheesecake carefully, and remove the foil wrapping. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, move to the fridge for at least 6 hours to overnight.
- Once the cheesecake has set, you can remove the outer ring of the pan and add a ganache topping.
- To make ganache, warm the cream in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until steaming. Pour the hot cream over the ½ cup chocolate chips and let it sit for 3-4 minutes. Then whisk until completely smooth (I use a fork for such a small amount).
- Spread over the top of the cheesecake and top with whipped cream and/or chocolate chip cookies.
- Enjoy!
