This cheesecake is so creamy and rich you might not even need more than half a slice. Speckles of chocolate chips make it taste and look irresistible. It’s quite delicious as is but you could certainly garnish each slice fresh sliced strawberries or raspberries. We used almond extract which gives it a cherry-like flavor but the traditional vanilla variety would taste great too. Store covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to one week. To make easy work out of crushing the cookies, place them in zip-top plastic bag. Press the bag to remove excess air. Seal and roll a rolling pin back and forth over the bag to crush the cookies.
