Prep Time15 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 8 - 4 oz jars

Ingredients

  • 12 chocolate chip cookies I used Chips Ahoy
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 packages 8 oz each cream cheese (*room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar use 3/4 cup if you like things sweet
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips 1/2 cup for batter, 1/4 cup for topping
  • 8 mini chocolate chip cookies or larger cookies cut into pieces for the top

Instructions

  • In a food processor blend cookies with butter.
  • Then press a tablespoon and a half of the mixture into each jar.
  • Press the mixture so it's firm in the bottom of each jar, otherwise, it will get all mixed in the cheesecake batter and won't be on the bottom.
  • Next with a mixer, whip the cream cheese until smooth. (If your cream cheese has not been left at room temperature for an hour, place it unwrapped on a plate and use the defrost feature of your microwave to take the chill off of it, about 30 seconds at a 30% power, do that twice if once was not enough. You don't want to heat the cream cheese, but it won't mix smoothly if it's cold)
  • Next, add in the brown sugar and mix until it's well blended, then add the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Whip until the mixture is fluffy.
  • Mix in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
  • Place mixture into a gallon plastic bag seal it, then cut off one of the bottom corners and pipe the batter into the jars over the cookie crust.
  • Top the jars with the remaining chocolate chips and a small cookie.
  • Place jars in the fridge to chill completely. At least an hour.
  • If you want to place the lids on the jars, don't fill each jar so high.
