About Cookies and cream cheesecake
Cookies and Cream Cheesecake is a dessert that originates from Western cuisine, particularly popular in American and European baking traditions. This decadent treat combines a rich cream cheese filling mixed with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies on a cookie crumb crust. Nutritionally, it is calorie-dense, with high amounts of fats, sugars, and carbohydrates, derived mainly from the cream cheese, cookies, and added sweeteners. While it provides some protein from the dairy content, it is not considered nutrient-rich. A single slice typically contains approximately 300-500 calories, depending on portion size, with notable amounts of saturated fat and sugars but also small amounts of calcium and vitamin A from the cream cheese.
Health Benefits
- Contains calcium (from cream cheese) which supports bone health.
- Provides vitamin A (from cream cheese) essential for eye and skin health.
- Offers a small amount of protein which aids in tissue repair, though the quantity is minimal.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store the cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For extended storage, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month.
