Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese softened 燎
cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 box chocolate cake mix prepared according to box instructions
10 chocolate sandwich cookies
8 ounces high-quality chocolate 60% cocoa content or higher, chopped finely
2 cups heavy cream 拏
Preparation:
1 Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 350F 180C and grease your bundt cake pan.
2 Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3 Layer the Cake Batter:
Pour half of the prepared chocolate cake batter into the bottom of the greased bundt pan, smoothing it out evenly.
4 Add the Cream Cheese Layer:
Use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter, being careful not to let it touch the sides of the pan.
5 Add the Cookies:
Place a chocolate sandwich cookie on top of the cream cheese scoops, arranging them in a circle around the edge of the pan.
6 Finish the Cake Layers:
Pour the remaining chocolate cake batter on top of the cookies, smoothing it out to cover them completely.
7 Bake the Cake:
Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
8 Invert the Cake:
Once cooled, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack set on top of a baking tray to catch any drips.
9 Prepare the Glaze:
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chopped chocolate and heavy cream together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Glaze the Cake:
Pour the chocolate glaze over the cooled cake, letting the excess drip off onto the tray. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.
11 Serve and Enjoy:
Once the glaze has set, slice and serve this irresistible cookies and cream bundt cake. Enjoy the creamy, chocolatey goodness in every bite!
Storage:
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
