Ingredients

Brownie Base

1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup sugar
⅓ cup cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
½ cup plant-based milk
⅓ cup neutral oil
1 tsp vanilla

Cookies & Cream Cheesecake

16 oz vegan cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
½ cup dairy-free yogurt
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla
10 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed

Chocolate Ganache

¾ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
⅓ cup coconut cream

Topping

Chocolate sandwich cookies
Brownie chunks

Directions

Prep: Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment.
Make brownie layer: Mix flour, sugar, cocoa and baking powder. Stir in milk, oil and vanilla until combined. Spread in the pan and bake 15 minutes.
Make cheesecake: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in yogurt, cornstarch and vanilla. Fold in crushed cookies.
Pour cheesecake batter over the partially baked brownie. Bake 40–45 minutes, until the edges look set and the center still has a slight jiggle.
Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Ganache: Warm coconut cream and pour it over the chocolate chips. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until glossy.
Spread ganache over the cheesecake and pile on Oreos and brownie chunks.
Slice cold for clean layers—or let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes for an extra creamy center. 🍪🍫
