Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cake

Been sitting on my butt to bake as I really wan to bake something. But so busy with my learning materials and the kids’ schoolwork and all, and to top it off with an active 3yo-to-be, TIME is never enough! 

Today is my neighbour’s birthday! This call for a good reason! She always shower me with all her cooking, mee soto, curry, ayam masak and many more! Me always shower her ‘fats’ whenever I bake! But I haven been baking often lately. 🙊🙊

I googled and chances upon this recipe with whatever ingredients I have at home. So decided to try this interesting recipe today! Loved the cookie crust and the combination of the creamcheese tho a tad sweet, it is crunchy, chewy and soft. Yums! Perhaps with the addition of the chocolate chips, I will reduce the sugar in the creamcheese batter the next round. Reduce a bit of chocolates the next round and add a bit more sugar in the cookie dough and add some cinnamon? 🤔🤔

Can you see the layers?? I love it! Hub loves it so much and asked me why so little! Lol!! Ooppss, I baked a small 4” cake tin for own consumption cos we rarely have sweet tooth! But i think he likes chewy cookies so he totally fall in ❤️ with this one!! 

Have one too, my friends!! I will share the recipe source below! Serve it on its own, warm with a scoop of ice cream or have it chill!
