Description

This No Bake Monster Cookie Dough Cheesecake combines the irresistible flavors of cookie dough with a creamy cheesecake filling, studded with colorful M&Ms and mini chocolate chips, all set atop a buttery graham cracker crust. This easy-to-make dessert requires no baking and is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with minimal effort and maximum indulgence.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 9 graham crackers (1 whole sleeve)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
  • 3/4 cup M&Ms, divided

Topping

  • 1/4 cup fudge topping, chilled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Place the 9 graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and the melted 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the crumbs. Pulse again until the mixture looks like wet sand.
  2. Form the Crust: Transfer the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Firmly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the plate to form an even crust layer. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat 12 ounces of room temperature cream cheese and 1 cup powdered sugar with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and combined.
  4. Add Remaining Filling Ingredients: To the cream cheese mixture, add 2/3 cup full-fat sour cream, 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Beat again until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Mix in Candy: Stir in 1/2 cup of the M&Ms and 3/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake batter evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust using a spatula for smoothness.
  7. Chill Overnight: Cover the assembled cheesecake with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight, allowing it to set properly.
  8. Add the Toppings: Once chilled, place the 1/4 cup of fudge topping into a sandwich bag, cut a small hole in one corner, and drizzle it decoratively over the cheesecake. Finally, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of M&Ms and 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips over the top for an extra burst of color and texture.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smoother filling.
  • Use full-fat sour cream and peanut butter for the creamiest texture.
  • You can substitute M&Ms with other candy or chocolate chips according to your preference.
  • If you prefer a firmer crust, chill it for longer before adding the filling.
  • Store leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days.
