Once upon a time, I dreamed of a world where cheesecake and cookies could marry and live happily ever after. And so it happened that I became a Krusteaz ambassador living in the land of “bake believe”, and I knew my fairy tale ending would come to pass.
I created my dessert come true in this Cherry Topped Cheesecake with Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie Crust, a delightful and magical union of two utterly enchanting sweets.
How could you not fall in love when cherries bathe the top of a creamy chocolate-laced cheesecake and rest upon a chewy, chocolate chunk cookie crust?
Resistance is futile; grab a fork and dig in!
I hope you love this recipe as much as I do!
