Step 4: Bake the Loaf
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil halfway through baking.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Cooling allows the cheesecake layers to firm up and makes the loaf easier to slice or pull apart.
Step 5: Glaze and Serve
- Once cooled, drizzle the loaf with melted chocolate or a simple sweet glaze for added indulgence.
- Slice into thick pieces or simply pull it apart to enjoy warm, gooey bites filled with creamy cheesecake and melty chocolate chips.
🍫 Tips for the Perfect Cookie Dough Cheesecake Loaf
- Use room-temperature ingredients: Softened butter and cream cheese blend smoothly and create a more even texture.
- Chill before slicing: For cleaner cuts, refrigerate the loaf for 30 minutes after cooling.
- Customize your mix-ins: Try peanut butter chips, white chocolate, or even crushed cookies for a twist.
- Serve warm: Reheat slices in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to bring back that gooey, fresh-baked texture.
Serving Ideas
- Enjoy plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an over-the-top dessert.
- Pair with coffee, hot chocolate, or a tall glass of milk for the ultimate cozy treat.
- Gift it wrapped in parchment and tied with twine — it makes a gorgeous homemade present!
