No Bake Crème Filled Chocolate Cookie Cheesecake

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Additional Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:
1/4 cup melted butter
50 Crème Filled Chocolate Cookies, divided
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
24 oz cream cheese (3 250g/8oz packages)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream divided

Instructions:

Crust
Combine melted butter and 1 300 gram package of cookies (25 cookies) in a food processor. Process until smooth and starts to stick together.

Press into a 9″ Springform pan and about 1/2″ up the sides.

Filling
In a medium bowl, combine white chocolate chips and 1/4 cup cream. Microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring well each time, until melted and smooth. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add powdered sugar and melted white chocolate and beat until combined.

Add remaining 1 cup cream, and beat on low until incorporated, then beat on high speed until thickened and fluffy (3-4 minutes). Don’t stop until it has thickened!

Reserve 5 cookies for garnish, and place the remaining 20 into a large zip-top bag. Crush with a rolling pin or other hard object and stir into the cheesecake filling.

Spread into prepared crust, cover, and chill for at least 5-6 hours or overnight.

Slice and serve.
