Description
A rich and creamy no-bake chocolate cheesecake with a crunchy chocolate cookie crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed chocolate cookies (e.g., Oreos, without filling)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 12 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 8 oz dark chocolate, melted and cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chocolate shavings or curls (optional)
- Cocoa powder for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Combine crushed cookies and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until evenly coated. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and chill in the refrigerator.
- Make the Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add melted chocolate and mix until combined. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold into the chocolate mixture.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour chocolate filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Add the Toppings: Before serving, decorate with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or cocoa powder.
- Serve and Enjoy: Release from the springform pan, transfer to a serving plate, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
For best results, chill overnight. Ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
