Assembly and Baking

  2. Scoop some cookie dough, flatten it, place a frozen cheesecake filling in the center, wrap the dough around, seal it tight, and place on a tray.
  3. Bake for 11–12 minutes until edges are set. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Chill the cheesecake filling to prevent melting in the oven. For a twist, experiment with other fruits like raspberries or blueberries. You can also add lemon or orange zest for added flavor.
