Description

These No-Bake Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars combine the nostalgic flavor of edible cookie dough with a creamy cheesecake layer. With a buttery, sweet cookie dough base loaded with mini chocolate chips and a light, fluffy cream cheese topping, these bars are the perfect easy dessert for any occasion, requiring no oven time and ready after just a few hours of chilling.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough Layer

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough Layer: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth, thick cookie dough forms without any lumps.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Press: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips, then evenly press this cookie dough mixture into the bottom of a baking dish to form the base layer.
  4. Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  5. Fold in Whipped Cream: Carefully fold the whipped cream or whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  6. Assemble the Bars: Spread the cheesecake layer evenly over the cookie dough base in the baking dish.
  7. Add Topping and Chill: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips evenly on top of the cheesecake layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm and set.

Notes

  • Use heat-treated flour if you are concerned about consuming raw flour in the cookie dough layer.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and freshly whipped cream rather than premade topping.
  • Allow bars to chill sufficiently to make cutting easier and to hold their shape well.
  • Store leftover bars covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Feel free to customize by adding nuts or different types of chocolate chips in the dough or topping.
