You can bake without the baking. If you're not a fan of popping things in the oven because you're clumsy and end up ruining it all (like me), then this no-bake cheesecake is for you! There's something about cookie dough that everyone loves, licking the bowl clean after making a batch and realising you much prefer it raw rather than the end result. This is why we've brought to you Gookie Dough cheesecake which is a treat that you can totally indulge on. 

There is a layer of cookie dough under the cheesecake, cookie dough balls mixed throughout, and a pile of cookie dough balls on top. So sit down and pamper yourself. Don't forget that glass of milk and relive your childhood. 

Prep time 45 minutes, bake time, none!

You Will Need:

(For the crust) 

Three tablespoons of melted butter

300g of biscuits of your choice 

(For the cheesecake) 

A monster tub of Gookie Dough

Three packs of cream cheese

1 cup of heavy whipping cream

1 cup of icing sugar

One teaspoon of vanilla extract 

Instructions 

To make the crust, merely put the butter and biscuits in a food processor and mix until it is smooth and a ball-like formation has appeared. Press the crust into a 9-inch springform pan or a square pan. We recommend using the springform because it makes your life ten times easier!  

For the cheesecake, beat together the cream cheese, cream, sugar and vanilla extract until it has a fluffy texture, this should take about five minutes. 

Then, divide your Gookie Dough tub into three parts (we used the original flavour to get that traditional feel!). Roll one third into a circle which is the size of your pain and lay on top of the crust you've just made. Then roll the remaining dough into small balls. Stir half of these balls into the cheesecake and set the remaining in the fridge for the topping! 

Top with your cheesecake mixture and pop in the fridge to set. This should be for at least four hours. Afterwards, garnish your cheesecake with whipped cream and add the extra Gookie Dough balls. Use up within five days! 

The pictures speak for themselves. This recipe is truly delightful and is perfect for any event. Who says cheesecake has to be fancy or complicated? Try our red velvet Gookie Dough for a unique pink/red colour and be extra vibrant! Got a birthday? Funfetti cake batter is perfect, we all need sprinkles when it's our special day. Alternatively, go super indulgent with triple chocolate fudge. Oozing with gooey goodness! Remember always to check the date of your Gookie Dough tubs to ensure you have enough time to eat it all up! Waste not, want not and all that. 

Cake, chocolate, cheesecake, candy floss, Christmas pudding, everything dessert is a yes. However, no matter what the sweet treat may be, we all have a favourite whether we want to admit it or not. Maybe a slice of cheesecake is more your style? Well, not to everyone! A little like your love life. So the real question is, what does your go-to dessert say about you and your dating style.

Ice Cream 

Just like the dessert, you're fun, playful and just there for a laugh who is everyone's favourite. You aren't made for commitment or anything too serious because that's boring, right? For example, why settle down for fudge brownie if you can have peanut butter cup too? You keep your options open and are a bit of a free spirit which is why we all love you. 

Chocolate Covered Fruits 

Romance is chocolate covered strawberries, and that is a fact. It's obvious that you're a hopeless romantic. Even though you may be overly soppy with your cuddles in bed, it proves that you're loyal, kind and super caring. You just want to find the perfect partner and settle down. Your grandparent's fairytale marriage is your goal in life. Adorable! 

Chocolate Chip Cookie 

Real classy but sassy, just like you. This traditional treat will never go out of fashion. Why over complicate things when you can enjoy the simplicities of life. Drama isn't your forte, and you're friends with everyone, however, when it comes to something you are passionate about, you're certainly a tough cookie! Chase that man, girly. 

Candy 

Boyfriend? Girlfriend? Commitment? NO! Why would you want to settle down and be suffocated? You don't have a type, and you don't want to be assigned to a particular person. The more experience, the better and you're a people's person. 

Crème Brûlée 

You're hard work, my darling. Possibly playing hard to get but worth it in the end. Like the sugar that tops a crème brûlé, it takes a lot to keep you happy, and I guess you could say you're a bit of a diva but who could blame you? You're super classy and love the more delicate things in life, so sit back and enjoy being spoilt. 

Cheesecake 

Classic and chill, always there for people and the perfect person to comfort, a bit like our old friend, Mr Cheesecake. You're low maintenance and would be happy chilling at home with a takeaway. Easy peasy.

Lava Cake 

Soft on the outside but a lot stronger than you think. If it comes to it, you can be feisty and explosive at times. You're looking for someone who can handle your fiery personality and be adventurous with you which means there can never be a dull moment. Who doesn't love a hidden wild side? As challenging as you may seem, you show real love once someone finds your concealed mushy centre. 

Profiterole 

You like relationships that are filled to the brim with walks on the beach, late night conversations and gazing into each others' eyes. It may all seem a bit gooey to others, but you show genuine respect and passion for your partner and never fail to please.
