Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use store-bought cookie dough for this recipe?

While you can use store-bought dough in a pinch, we highly recommend making the edible cookie dough from scratch for the best flavor and texture. Plus, homemade dough ensures you avoid any raw flour concerns since we heat-treat it in the recipe!

How do I prevent cracks in my cheesecake?

The key to a crack-free cheesecake is gentle baking and cooling. Avoid overmixing the batter, bake in a water bath, and let the cheesecake cool gradually in the turned-off oven before refrigerating. A few small cracks won’t affect the taste though—they’ll be hidden under that delicious cookie dough topping!

How long does this cheesecake keep in the fridge?

Properly stored in an airtight container, your cheesecake will stay fresh for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. The flavors actually deepen after a day, making it even more delicious!

Can I freeze this cheesecake?

Absolutely! Wrap individual slices or the whole cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
