All You Need Is Store-Bought Cookie Dough To Make The Ultimate Cheesecake - Tasting Table

"A classic New York-style cheesecake can require over an hour of work, but with the right ingredient swaps, you can be on your way to serving up and enjoying a tasty treat even when pressed for time. One of the clever ways to use store-bought cookie dough is by using a tube of the dough as the base to make a cheesecake."

"You'll lightly bake the cookie dough that has been spread across the bottom of your cake tin and let it cool before topping the cookie crust with your cheesecake filling. To double down on all things cookie dough, you can mix edible cookie dough pieces directly into the filling of any no bake cheesecake recipe and have a cake to slice in under a half hour."

Store-bought edible cookie dough can replace a traditional cheesecake crust, speeding preparation and reducing work. Pressing a tube of cookie dough into the bottom of a prepared cake tin and lightly baking it produces a chewy cookie base that cools before filling. Edible cookie dough can also be folded into no-bake cheesecake fillings to create a cookie-filled cake ready in under thirty minutes. Various cookie dough flavors pair well with complementary fillings and toppings, such as oatmeal with raspberry, chocolate with strawberry, or sugar cookie with peanut butter. Garnishes like chocolate chips, caramel drizzles, or crumbled cookies enhance texture and sweetness.
