An Easy No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

While I love a good baked cheesecake, there are times when no bake is exactly what you need. Easy, quick to put together and perfect for that chocolate craving.

And putting this No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake together couldn’t be simpler. It starts with a classic Oreo crust, which is one of my favorite kinds of crust. Grind up some Oreos in your food processor until you are left with fine crumbs, then add some melted butter. I’m often asked about the filling of the Oreos and you want to leave that in when you grind up the cookies. It’s part of what helps bind the crust together.

Place the crust in the fridge to firm up while you make the filling.

How to Make a No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

The filling is made with pretty straightforward cheesecake ingredients. You’ll want to start with a good quality cream cheese that’s at room temperature so that it’s easier to blend together and you don’t get lumps. Some sugar is added to sweeten things up, because when left on it’s own, cream cheese is a bit tangy.

Next up is the star of the show – the chocolate! To create both great taste and great texture, I use a combination of melted chocolate and powdered cocoa. The melted chocolate gives the cheesecake a really smooth chocolate flavor and thicker texture, while the cocoa amplifies the chocolate and gives a stronger flavor.

Once blended, some homemade whipped cream is added to lighten things up a bit. You get a texture that resembles the light, yet dense texture of a baked cheesecake. When complete, the cheesecake is set in the fridge to firm up.

And finally, the cheesecake is topped with some more homemade whipped cream. I also added some strawberry halves and a mix of sprinkles and mini chocolate chips, but feel free to add whatever you like. Fresh fruit will pair great with this No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, as well as adding more chocolate – because there can never be too much!
