History & Inspiration

Cookie Monster, the beloved blue puppet from Sesame Street, isn’t just a childhood icon—he’s the spirit of joyful indulgence. His love for cookies has inspired a generation of desserts decked out in vivid blues, with cookies crammed into every bite. This cheesecake honors that love in decadent style, combining American-style cheesecake with a blondie (a white chocolate brownie) crust and layers of cookie madness.

Ingredients (Makes one 9-inch cheesecake)

Blondie Base:

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 4 oz) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips or crushed chocolate chip cookies

Cookie Monster Cheesecake Filling:

  • 24 oz (3 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Blue food coloring (gel preferred for vibrant color)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or all-purpose flour (for stability)
  • 1 cup chopped chocolate chip cookies (Oreos, Chips Ahoy, etc.)
  • Optional: ½ cup mini Oreos or cookies for folding in

Topping (Optional but Glorious):

  • Whipped cream
  • Extra chopped cookies or mini cookies
  • Blue cookie crumbs or sprinkles
  • Cookie dough balls

Instructions & Method

Step 1: Prepare the Blondie Base

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Mix in egg, vanilla, and salt.
  4. Fold in flour until just combined, then stir in mini chocolate chips or cookie pieces.
  5. Press the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 15–17 minutes, until lightly golden and set. Let cool while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cookie Monster Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add sugar and beat until fluffy and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and cornstarch/flour.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low until fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
  5. Add blue food coloring until your desired shade is achieved—Cookie Monster vibrant!
  6. Fold in chopped cookies and/or mini Oreos gently.

Step 3: Assemble & Bake

  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled blondie base.
  2. Gently tap the pan to release air bubbles.
  3. Bake at 325°F for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is just slightly jiggly.
  4. Turn off oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.
  5. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture.

Decorating & Serving

  • Pipe whipped cream around the edges and top with cookie crumbles, whole cookies, or even edible googly eyes for fun.
  • Slice with a hot knife (wipe between cuts) for clean, dramatic slices.

Formation & Fun

This cheesecake is the perfect mash-up dessert: blondie base meets rich cheesecake meets a cookie overload. The formation mimics layers of texture—soft, dense, crunchy—and color, thanks to that brilliant blue hue. It’s as much a visual treat as it is a delicious one.

Conclusion

The Cookie Monster Cheesecake is more than a dessert—it’s a joyful homage to childhood whimsy and cookie cravings. Every bite delivers creamy richness, sweet cookie crunch, and a splash of fun. It’s a showpiece, a celebration, and a comfort food all rolled into one brilliant blue cake.
