These Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake Bars combine chocolate chip cookie dough with cheesecake, for the perfect two-in-one dessert. Originally published in 2015, I felt it was high time for a refresh. I revisited the kitchen and meticulously tweaked the recipe to elevate its already delicious flavor into something even better. I transformed the chocolate chip cookie layer, opting for dark brown sugar instead of light, and adjusting the brown sugar to granulated sugar ratio. These changes not only impart more moisture to the dough but also give the dough an incredible depth of flavor that cap ..read more

I am so excited to share the best cheesecake recipe EVER with you! Some of my all-time most popular blog posts in 10+ years of blogging involve cheesecake recipes. I can see why.

And while it’s fun to get creative with cheesecake recipes, I think the most basic and classic cheesecake recipe is often the most intimidating. It’s that simplicity that leaves little room for error! For that very reason, I’ve ..read more

Meet your new favorite cheesecake bars recipe! Thick and creamy cream cheese filling with the perfect amount of tang. Buttery, crunchy graham cracker crust. Toppings of your choosing.  As much as I love a big, impressive full-sized cheesecake, they are a pain to bake! You’re fighting cracks and sinking if you don’t take the steps to set up a water bath. Plus, it takes some experience to know when a full-size cheesecake is actually done baking. They take a while to bake and even longer to cool down and chill before you even get a bite of cheesecake. Delayed gratification like that is some ..read more

Homemade ice cream is one of my go-to summer treats.  When temperatures soar to over 115°F here in Phoenix, ice cream is all I can think about. I adore making my own ice cream, too, because I’m in full control of the flavor – and the texture of homemade ice cream is just SO much better. There’s something so satisfying about making your own ice cream (I guess that’s why I also have a whole cookbook devoted to ice cream and ice cream sandwiches!) I also love this recipe particularly right now because it d ..read more
