- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly puffed.
- Turn off the oven and crack the oven door. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour, then remove and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
For the Topping:
- In a bowl, mix whipped cream with blue food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
- Spread the blue whipped cream over the chilled cheesecake.
- Sprinkle with crushed cookies and add Cookie Monster cookie decorations if desired.
Notes
For best results, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for a firmer texture. You can adjust the amount of blue food coloring to achieve your desired shade. Serve with additional cookie crumbles for extra crunch.
