Description
A rich and creamy cheesecake baked on a buttery sugar cookie crust and topped with a light sugar cookie–flavored whipped topping. This festive dessert is perfect for holiday gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces crispy sugar cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 32 ounces (4 blocks) cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar cookie-flavored coffee creamer
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar cookie-flavored coffee creamer (for topping)
- Festive sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the crushed sugar cookies with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove and allow it to cool slightly.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the granulated sugar and mix until fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Pour in the sugar cookie-flavored coffee creamer and mix until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and spread evenly. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet.
- Bake for about 1 hour, until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake rest inside for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with the sugar cookie-flavored coffee creamer until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped topping over the chilled cheesecake and decorate with festive sprinkles if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Allow all refrigerated ingredients to reach room temperature for a smoother cheesecake batter.
- Letting the cheesecake rest in the turned-off oven helps prevent cracks on the surface.
- For clean slices, wipe the knife with a warm damp cloth between cuts.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
