Easy to Make – Uses premade dough for zero stress
Looks Fancy – That dramatic “flip” moment is pure magic

Ingredients

• 1 (24-pack) premade cookie dough (chocolate chip or sugar cookie work best)
• 1 cup premade cheesecake filling (or mix 8 oz softened cream cheese + ¼ cup sugar + 1 tsp vanilla)
• ½ cup mini chocolate chips
• Non-stick spray (for the pan)
• Optional Extras:
  • Caramel drizzle
  • Powdered sugar dusting
  • Extra chocolate chips for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Dough

• Roll each cookie dough piece into a smooth ball (about 1.5″ wide).
• Use your thumb to make an indent in each ball.

2. Stuff with Cheesecake

• Fill each indent with ½ tsp cheesecake filling.
• Pinch the dough closed around the filling, ensuring no leaks.

3. Layer in the Pan

• Generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan with non-stick spray.
• Arrange the stuffed dough balls in the pan, stacking them snugly.
• Sprinkle mini chocolate chips between layers and on top.

4. Bake to Perfection

• Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden and set.
• Pro Tip: Place a baking sheet under the Bundt pan in case of drips!

5. The Grand Flip

• Let cool 5 minutes (no longer, or it’ll stick!).
• Place a plate over the pan, then flip confidently—reveal your masterpiece!

6. Serve & Devour

• Drizzle with caramel or dust with powdered sugar (optional).
• Serve warm and let everyone pull apart their own cheesy, chocolaty piece!

Pro Tips for Success

No Bundt Pan? Use a 9×13″ dish—bake as a slab and cut into squares.
Extra Gooey? Underbake slightly (20 mins) for a lava-like center.
Make Ahead: Assemble unbaked and refrigerate overnight—add 5 mins to bake time.
Adult Upgrade: Add 1 tbsp bourbon to the cheesecake filling!
