About the Ingredients for Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough – We used a pre-made roll of chocolate chip cookie dough but you could make your own dough using your favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe!

Cream cheese – Use full fat, brick cream cheese softened to room temperature.

Sugar – Just plain old granulated sugar.

Egg – You want to start with a room temperature egg for the cheesecake filling.

Vanilla extract – Adds a nice punch of flavour to the cheesecake. Pure vanilla extract will give the best flavour, but artificial works fine too.

Chocolate chips – I think semi-sweet chocolate chips works best, but feel free to use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.
