Instructions
- Line the baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the lined baking dish to form the crust. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust and spread it evenly.
- To make the cookie dough topping, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in another bowl until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually mix in the heat-treated flour and salt, then add the mini chocolate chips and milk. Stir until combined.
- Scoop the cookie dough mixture over the cheesecake layer and spread it out evenly.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Once set, lift the bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 equal bars and serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to heat-treat the flour: Spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes to kill any bacteria.
These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Feel free to customize the cookie dough topping by adding nuts or other types of chocolate.
