chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake.
This is basically the Bridget Jones of cheesecakes and it goes a long way towards curing most ills, but will probably rot your teeth as well. I made this to share with a friend, and to lament the fact that my car has expensively (& possibly permanently) failed its MOT.
Ingredients:
For the base:
- 10-12 digestive biscuits
- 70g butter
For the cookie dough:
- 60g caster sugar
- 30g butter
- 60g plain flour
- 100g bag of chocolate chips
- tsp vanilla essence
For the cheesecake:
- 450g cream cheese
- 150g caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- tsp of vanilla essence
Method:
i. Bash the biscuits into crumbs with a rolling pin. (The easiest way to do this is to put them into a plastic food bag first.) Melt the butter and stir into the biscuit crumbs, then press into the cheesecake pan & put into the fridge until ready for the topping.
ii. Make the cookie dough by creaming together the butter & sugar first before adding the vanilla essence, flour & chocolate chips to form a dough. Roll the dough into smallish balls & put on top of the base.
iii. Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla essence & eggs and pour over the base & cookie dough.
iv. Bake in the oven at 180c/350f/gas4 for about 40mins until set but still a little bit wobbly.
This came out really well, but I think the cookie dough recipe needs a little tweaking. This is actually the second time I’ve made this, but I’ve managed to misplace the recipe I used the first time round which featured the most yummy and perfect eggless cookie dough.. Although it’s probably in my waistline’s best interests for that to remain lost!
In other news my car is still rather expensively dead – it failed its MOT because it is basically about to become the car from the Flintstones & soon I will be able to see daylight through the floor. Realistically I know I should sell it on to become someone else’s project, but there is a rather large part of me that wants to tuck it away safely in the garage for a few years & replace the floorpan & front beams when I have a little bit more time, money & expertise. I do miss having a car at the moment though – it’s been my little orange & white link to freedom & independence for the past 6 years & I will be very sad to see it go.
