Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients and preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease your 9-inch springform pan.
Make Sugar Cookie Base
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream together butter and cane sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in sprinkles.
Bake the Crust
- Press the cookie dough into the greased pan evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Let it cool slightly.
Make Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and cane sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, heavy cream, and mix well.
- Add eggs one at a time, fully incorporating after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Assemble and Bake
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly.
- Bake for about 45-55 minutes until the center is set but still slightly wobbly. Cool for an hour at room temperature.
Prepare Ganache
- Heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over white chocolate chips, stir until smooth.
Finish the Cheesecake
- Once chilled, drizzle ganache over cheesecake. Let set for 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with extra cookie dough balls or sprinkles if desired.
Serve
- Slice cheesecake into wedges and serve chilled.
Notes
For better results, let all ingredients come to room temperature and consider high-quality chocolate for the ganache. Skipping chilling time may lead to a less firm cheesecake.
