Ingredients
Base
- Billy G’s Gourmet Golden Classic Cookie Dough
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 tablespoon unflavored powdered gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 455g cream cheese, soft
- 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups thickened cream, cold
Method
Step 1
Thaw cookie dough until cool and soft. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
Step 2
Scoop the cookie dough from the tub and press into your oven-proof cheesecake tin. Cookie dough should be approximately 1.5 cm thick for the base of your cheesecake. Bake for 7-9 minutes at 180 degrees C until golden.
When finished, do not remove the base from cheesecake tin. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
Place 1/4 cup of cold water in a microwave safe bowl. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of gelatin, and stir until moisten. Leave sit for 5 minutes, before microwaving until gelatin is completely dissolved (20 – 30 seconds). Set aside to cool.
Step 4
Place 455g of cream cheese and 1 and 1/2 cups of icing sugar in a large mixing bowl (best sifted). Mix on low speed until sugar begins to mix with the cream cheese. Increase to medium and mix until cream cheese is fluffy and icing sugar is fully combined.
Add vanilla essence and mix through with a spatula.
Step 5
Add 2 cups of cold thickened cream, whisking on low speed until cream is incorporated. Increase to medium speed, and then slowly to high, until soft peaks form.
Step 6
If your gelatin has started to turn into a jelly, reheat for 10s to return to a liquid. Reduce your mixer to a low speed, and slowly add in the cooled gelatin mixture. Once it has combined, return to high speed and mix until firm peaks form (they should stay firmly upright).
Spoon your filling onto the cookie base.
Step 7
Choose your cookie dough for the filling, and thaw. Scoop small amounts and roll into balls. Gently push your cookie dough into your cheesecake.
Refrigerate for at least an hour, preferably overnight. Enjoy!
