Circus Animal Cookie Cheesecake

Ingredients:

2 11-oz. bags Circus Animal Cookies

6 tablespoons butter, melted

4 8-oz. packages cream cheese, room temperature

1 1/4 cups sugar

4 eggs, room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla

6 oz. white chocolate chips

1/4 cup heavy cream

sprinkles

Directions:

Wrap the outside of a 9" springform pan with foil and lightly spray the inside with cooking spray. To make the crust, pour 1 bag of cookies in a food processor and blend until completely crumbled. Pour the butter in with the cookie crumbs and blend until well combined. Spread the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan. Use the bottom of a glass to flatten the mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan. To make the filling, in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. From the second bag of cookies, break up the cookies into pieces until you have about 1/2-1 cup. Pour the cookie pieces into the filling and stir just until combined. Pour the filling over the crust. Bake at 350 for an hour or until the center is done. Cool on the counter for 20-30 minutes, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. To make the ganache, place the chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat the cream on the stove or in the microwave just until it starts to simmer. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips, cover, and allow to sit for about 3 minutes. Stir until chocolate is melted. Heat in the microwave for a few seconds at a time, if necessary, until all the chocolate is melted. Remove the sides of the springform pan from the cooled cake and place it on a platter. Pour the ganache over the cake and spread to the edges. Decorate the top with sprinkles and cookies.
