A Cooking Adventure!
Last year, I had the honor of working with the Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama on a recipe using their new cookie at that time, the Toast Yay. The TOAST YAY S’MORES CANDY was such a hit and my whole family loved it!I had so much fun working with them! Last fall, when they asked me to do a first taste video of this years cookie, I jumped at the chance!
This years new cookie, the Adventureful did not disappoint! This brownie brittle inspire cookie is the perfect snap of chocolate, caramel and sea salt. So when I was thinking of how to use it in a recipe, it felt only natural to grind it up and use it as a tasty crust for a no bake cheesecake! Taking a basic recipe and adding an unexpected component is what we love to do here, just like with our STRAWBERRY UPSIDE DOWN CAKE, this no bake cheesecake has a surprise element. So lets get down to it!
How to Make It
No Bake. Two of the loveliest words ever written. Mix, chill and eat. One of my favorite recipe directions ever! I think this is why I enjoy salads too, no waiting when you are hungry for what you are cooking! Because the cheese cake does have to set up a bit, you will have to exercise some patience and let it chill for at least 2 hours. It is well worth it!

Tips and Tricks
You can! I challenge you to do what I love to do and get creative! Taking a traditional recipe and making tasty changes are how heirloom recipes are born! I would encourage you though to support your local Girl Scouts and try this recipe with this new cookie!
Yes, you can double it or half it. Just like all of our recipes, we make the measurements easy to split or make more of. These would be good in an 8 x 11 pan, pie tin or even in cupcake liners for individual cheesecakes.
Acid is a magical thing for cheesecakes! It will work with the milk fats and make the cream cheese, creamier! Don’t skip this step. The pie won’t be lemony per se, it will have a light and fresh taste but won’t take away from the other flavors in the cheese cake.
Remember to support your local Girl Scouts this cookie season. When you do, you are supporting fine female leaders of tomorrow.Girl Scouts are so important in so many ways. They learn life long skills to help them be prepared in any situation life offers them.
