To make the cookie dough stir together all the ingredients (except the chocolate chips) until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
For the cheesecake layer, process the cream cheese and cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth. Add the sour cream, sweetener, and vanilla. Process until well combined. While the machine is running slowly sprinkle in the gelatin. Spread the cheesecake mixture on top of the cookie dough.
To make the ganache heat the cream until bubbly in the microwave or a small saucepan. Pour over the chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts. Add the sweetener and stir until smooth. Transfer to a small blender or food processor. Process for a minute or two until thick and shiny. This step really ensures a smooth ganache topping. Pour onto the cheesecake and spread gently.
Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours. Carefully run a knife around the edge before releasing the springform pan. When serving you have to slide the pie cutter between the pan and cookie dough before lifting the slice. Since it is raw dough it is softer than a traditional graham cracker crust.

Notes
Make sure to check out the video for this Cookie Dough Cheesecake!*** I get a lot of comments from my low carb readers on the use of molasses. I use it for flavor, not sweetness. One teaspoon of molasses has 5 grams of carbs. This recipe uses 1 teaspoon divided by 16 servings. That is less than .5 grams of carbs from the molasses. If you prefer you can just omit it.
