No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • CRUST:
  • 7 ounces (about 2 cups) chocolate graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 7 tablespoons butter, melted
  • CHEESECAKE:
  • 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (9 ounces) bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled to room temperature

 Directions

FOR THE CRUST, combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter together in a small bowl until the mixture looks sandy and wet. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides, about an inch, of a 9-inch springform pan or into a 9.5-inch pie plate. Refrigerate while making the filling.

FOR THE FILLING, in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer (or in an electric stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), mix the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, 1-2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and beat again for a minute or so until combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix.
Add the melted chocolate (make sure it is cool to room temperature!) and whip for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is extremely light and fluffy (this step is key to a creamy, light cheesecake filling).
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours (or up to 12 hours) until chilled and set.
For clean slices, run a long thin knife under really hot water and wipe dry with a towel before slicing (repeat the hot water trick between each slice).
