Ingredients
For the Crust:
8 ounces crispy sugar cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
32 ounces (4 blocks) cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup sugar cookie-flavored coffee creamer
For the Topping:
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup sugar cookie-flavored coffee creamer
Festive sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix the crushed sugar cookies with melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the Filling:
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (163°C).
- Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sugar and mix until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Pour in the sugar cookie-flavored coffee creamer and mix until the batter is smooth.
Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
- Bake for about 1 hour, or until the center is set but slightly jiggles when gently shaken.
- Turn off the oven, crack the oven door open, and let the cheesecake rest inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
Chill the Cheesecake:
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
Prepare the Topping:
- In a bowl, combine the heavy cream and sugar cookie-flavored coffee creamer.
- Using a mixer, whip until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped topping over the chilled cheesecake.
- Add festive sprinkles if desired.
Serve:
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Transfer to a serving platter, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
To prevent cracking, avoid overmixing the batter and allow the cheesecake to cool gradually.
If sugar cookie-flavored coffee creamer isn’t available, use vanilla or caramel creamer as a substitute.
For added flair, drizzle with caramel or sprinkle with crushed sugar cookies before serving.
