Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake

We're going to start in the Yummy section of my Pinterest. As you can see - it's getting bigger and bigger (this may be a long project!). But the one I have been wanting to try - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake!

I had my assistant help me with this one. It's hot here in beautiful IL - and he had already gotten breakfast on his shirt. :)

After we were done with the mixing, etc - Lukey helped me clean some of the utensils. (Warning - this takes a lot of bowls, measuring cups, etc.) My other assistant, hubby Steve, took care of the dishes - but he was none to happy about the huge mess....
Until he tried these. They ARE yummy. Definitely can taste the chocolate - but it's not overwhelming. The cheesecake kind of cuts down on the sweetness of the cookie dough. The instructions were very good - and without pictures, you can make this. Cooking time was a bit on the low side - so make sure you read the instructions on waiting until the top is crispy.

I would say that this is an intermediate recipe + : meaning that if you are starting to learn how to cook, wait on this recipe until you get a couple of easier recipes under your belt.

Also, while this recipe can be used with stuff you have around the house, you'll definitely want to think about timing. It takes a couple of hours for it to 'cure' in the fridge - so don't use this as a last minute dessert.

Enjoy :)
