Method
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and white sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract, eggs, and sprinkles. Mix until combined, then press the dough into a greased springform pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
Step 2: Make the Cookie Dough Balls
- Place ½ cup of flour in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
- Beat together unsalted butter and additional sugar in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract and milk.
- Gradually add the baked flour, mix in remaining sprinkles, shape into balls, and freeze to firm up.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture
- Lower oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add sour cream and heavy cream, mix until fully incorporated. Gradually add eggs, one at a time, blending just until combined.
- Fold in about ¾ of the chilled cookie dough balls.
Step 4: Bake the Cheesecake
- Pour cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Wrap the pan in aluminum foil and place in a water bath.
- Bake for 80-90 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles. Let cool in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Then transfer to the refrigerator to chill.
Step 5: Prepare Ganache & Finish
- Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering, then pour over chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
- After cheesecake has chilled for at least 6 hours, pour ganache over top and decorate with remaining cookie dough balls and sprinkles.

Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth filling. Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually to prevent cracks.
