Description

This no-bake frosted animal cookie cheesecake combines the playful crunch of frosted animal cookies with a creamy, pink-hued cream cheese filling, making it a fun and effortless dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Crust

  • 11 ounces frosted animal cookies ((1 1/4 bags) – plus more for topping!*)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted (1 stick))
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese (room temperature (2 bricks))
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pink candy melts (**)
  • Pink food coloring (optional)
  • Rainbow sprinkles (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. For the Crust Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, having the ends overlap the pan by about an inch on the sides. (This will allow for easy lifting and removal of the cheesecake once it sets)
  2. Crush Using a food processor or large Ziplock bag, crush the cookies until they are a fine powder.
  3. Stir Stir together with the melted butter and sugar, until the crumble becomes dough-like.
  4. Press Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, pushing into every corner and covering the entire bottom of the pan. Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
  5. For the Filling While the crust sets, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together.
  6. Melt While the cream cheese mixture beats, melt the pink chocolates in a small, microwave-safe bowl.
  7. Pour While mixing the cream cheese mixture on slow speed, pour in the melted pink candies or white chocolate chips. Add pink food coloring, if desired.
  8. Combine Once it is well combined, pour over the prepared crust, spreading evenly until the entire bottom crust is covered.
  9. Chill Place in the refrigerator until the cheesecake sets, about 2-3 hours. Top with rainbow sprinkles and circus cookies, if desired. Cut and serve.

Notes

  • Line the pan with parchment paper overlapping the sides for easy removal.
  • Use a food processor or Ziplock bag to crush cookies finely.
  • Chill the crust before adding the filling to ensure it sets properly.
  • Pink food coloring is optional to enhance the color of the cheesecake.
  • Top with additional sprinkles and cookies for decoration.
