Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Mix the crust ingredients until combined, press firmly into the bottom of the pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the sugar and cookie butter and mix until creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time on low speed, mixing just until combined.
- Mix in the sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Wrap the pan tightly with foil and place it in a roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan to create a water bath.
- Bake at 325°F for 60–70 minutes until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then refrigerate overnight.
- Whip the topping ingredients to stiff peaks, pipe rosettes on the cheesecake, garnish with cookies and crumbs, and serve.
Notes
For best results, always chill this cheesecake overnight before slicing. The flavors deepen and the texture becomes perfectly creamy. Serve slightly chilled for clean slices and maximum flavor.
