This easy, no bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake recipe is the perfect summer treat. Cookie crust with creamy cheesecake filling, it's so decadent and delicious!

Ingredients

For the crust:

15 crunchy chocolate chip cookies (I used Chips Ahoy)
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

8 ounce package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup mini chocolate chips
8 ounce Cool Whip, thawed

For the garnish:

6 crunchy chocolate chip cookies, broken in half (I used Chips Ahoy)
4 ounce Cool Whip, thawed
2 Tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

In a food processor, pulse the cookies for the crust until crumbs. Add in melted butter. Pour into large pie plate and press firmly into the bottom. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese with brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes, until fluffy and no lumps. Add in vanilla extract. Fold in Cool Whip and mini chocolate chips. Pour onto prepared crust.
For the garnish, add cool whip to a piping bag and pipe onto top of cheesecake. Add mini chocolate chips. Break each cookie in half and push it into the edge of the pie, all the way around.
Refrigerate for two hours, or overnight. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Pulse the cookies for the crust. You want them broken down, but not completely in crumbs. A few chunky pieces are OK.

Soften the cream cheese. This will help it whip up better for the creamy cheesecake filling.

Chill for at least 2 hours to let the filling set to a sliceable consistency.
