How to Make 5 Layer Cookie Box Brownie Cheesecake

PIN IT

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper.
2. Press cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the pan to form the first layer.
3. Add sandwich cookies in a single layer on top of the cookie dough.
4. Prepare cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and egg until smooth. Spread evenly over cookies.
5. Pour brownie batter over the cheesecake layer and smooth it out.
6. Bake for 45–55 minutes until the center is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
7. Cool completely before slicing. For best results, chill in the fridge for 2–3 hours before serving.
8. Top with whipped cream and extra crushed cookies if desired.

What to Serve with 5 Layer Cookie Box Brownie Cheesecake

This dessert is rich, so pair it with:

• A hot cup of coffee or espresso.
• A glass of cold milk (classic move!).
• Fresh berries for a bright, tart contrast.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Always line your pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• For cleaner slices, chill before cutting with a sharp knife.
• Don’t overbake—the cheesecake should still have a slight jiggle when you remove it.
• Want to prep ahead? Assemble the layers and refrigerate overnight, then bake the next day.

Storage Instructions

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Wrap slices individually in plastic wrap, then foil. Freeze up to 2 months.
• Reheating: Best enjoyed cold or room temp, but you can microwave slices for 10–15 seconds for a warm gooey bite.
