This year marks the 25th anniversary of the PC Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie! To celebrate you can purchase an anniversary tin at a Loblaws store near you. I had the pleasure of receiving one. It contains 2 packs of cookies and a collector tin for putting your homemade goodies in.
This recipe was inspired by these lovely cookies and submitted to me from President's Choice. It is a rich, scrumptious cheesecake! Try is out, you won't be disappointed.
Crust:
- 2 cups PC The Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie pieces
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp sugar
Filling:
- 2 blocks plain cream cheese
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 cups sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups PC The Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie pieces
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Grind cookies into fine crumbs using a blender or a food processor. Add butter and blend until smooth, and then add sugar. Press crust into bottom of 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate while preparing the filling. Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees.Beat the cream cheese until smooth in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Blend in sugar and sour cream. Add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in the cookie pieces and ¼ cup of the chocolate chips. Pour filling into crust-lined pan and smooth top with a spatula. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup chocolate chips evenly over the top. Bake 40 minutes. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake in oven for 1 hour to set. Remove from oven and chill in refrigerator until firm, about 3-4 hours.
And there it is! Enjoy, I know I did!
