Our cheesecake starts with a delicious chocolate chip cookie crust. Butter, brown and white sugars are combined and mixed until smooth and creamy. Eggs and vanilla are added. Flour and fine sea salt are stirred in and finally a big pile of chocolate chips are folded in. The cookie dough is pressed into the bottom of a parchment paper lined springform pan and baked until firm.

As our cookie crust cools, the vanilla cheesecake filling is prepared. Softened cream cheese is beaten on low. Sugar first, then crème fraiche (or sour cream), heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla bean paste are added to the mixer and each beaten with the mix until well incorporated.

The filling is poured over our cookie crust and spread evenly to cover. The cheesecake is baked until firm along the sides, slightly jiggly in the center. The oven is shut off, and the cheesecake remains in the oven for an extra hour or so, while the oven cools down. This finishes the baking process and ensures a slow steady decline in temperature. This gives the cheesecake the best chance to cool without rapid shrinkage and possibly cracking. The chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake is cooled first to room temperature, and then placed in the refrigerator for several hours, or overnight to fully set.

Edible cookie dough starts with heat treated flour and the elimination of eggs in the dough.

Flour is a raw ingredient. Heat treating it kills any possible pathogens. Heat treating flour can be done a variety of ways. One is to place the flour in a microwave safe bowl and cook it in 30 second intervals until it reaches 160 degrees F. About 90 seconds total. Another way is to spread the flour on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F. for 10 minutes.

The heat treated flour is combined with fine sea salt, and set aside. Butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar are beaten in a stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Vanilla bean paste is mixed in. The heat treated flour and salt are stirred in. The mini chocolate chips are next, followed by a little milk, if desired to thin the cookie dough mix. The edible cookie dough is ready to eat, or for use as dessert decoration. Here I made small cookie shapes to adorn the top of the chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake, as well as serving a small scoop with a slice of the cake.
