No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake
An ultra-rich and silky smooth chocolate cheesecake featuring a crunchy dark cookie crust and a mousse-like filling, made entirely without the oven.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, crushed
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 8 ounces Dark Chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder, unsweetened
- 1 and 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
- Mix crushed cookies and melted butter, then press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan and freeze for 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat room temperature cream cheese and powdered sugar until completely smooth.
- Gently fold in the melted and cooled dark chocolate, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Release from the springform pan and serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Allow melted chocolate to cool slightly so it doesn’t deflate the whipped cream.
- Use a warm knife for clean slices.
