Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for cookie dough)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for cookie dough)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed (for cookie dough)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cookie dough)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for cookie dough)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (for cookie dough)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (for cookie dough)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
- In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour, mixing until well combined. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the red velvet crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the flour and salt until a dough forms. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough on top of the cheesecake layer, gently pressing them into the filling.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture.
- For a fun twist, top the cheesecake with whipped cream and additional mini chocolate chips before serving.
