Best No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

I liked this, it was tasty! My husband said it wasn't sweet enough, but I actually liked that about this pie. I didn't have enough whipped cream to put over it, but that did help make it sweeter (I usually make that with honey). I would make it again, it's super chocolatey!

I feel like I just found a hidden gem.

Nice and easy and you can make it as chocolatey as you want and endless ways to garnish - if it's not gone, yet 😅 This is an easy recipe but/and it includes all the extra baking elements that make baking, You either love it or hate it - you gotta love to bake! - there's melting and folding and re-using beaters and lots of dishes. Great beginners recipe, great for those almost 70 years, like me. Worth every bite ❣️

I made this dessert for our Southern Sunday Supper, as it's a little time intensive, even though there's very little labor involved. When I added the cooled melted chocolate to the whipped cream in the chilled bowl, the chocolate seized up and made tiny flecks throughout. I don't know if that was supposed to happen, but it did and it will still melt in your mouth when you eat it. I did add almost an extra T of cocoa powder because I know we love that deep rich cocoa flavor, and I used Lindt 70% cocoa dark chocolate bars to melt down. The graham cracker crust just barely made enough and it is super thin in the pan and while I could have scaled up, I wanted to keep to the original as much as possible. I made it work, and it was delicious, so even though I grumbled a little while trying to even it out and fill in the bald spots, it was worth it as it's much better than store bought pre made crust. After eating, it seemed like the ratio was fine, so I would leave it as written. I used a little 8" cake tin instead of a springform pan. This recipe takes quite some time as you have to plan ahead and allow time to chill the bowl in the freezer, let the cream cheese soften, let the melted chocolate cool, and clean the beaters between steps so you can use them for the next part, then chill 2 hours before serving. The recipe itself is easy to follow. This is super rich and creamy. I like the twang from the cream cheese and the semi sweet dark chocolate flavor. This is not overly sweet, and I added a dollop of sweetened whipped cream on top, which added all the sweetness it needed. There were bits of dark chocolate throughout, and I guess it's supposed to be that way as the photo posted looks bumpy like mine. This is fantastic as far as flavor, but the texture could have been improved had the melted chocolate not seized up when I added it to the cold whipped cream bowl, and been a super smooth texture instead. I liked this much more than my husband did, so I probably won't make it again because I can't eat all of this by myself. This was the perfect ending for our big Southern Sunday Supper. It felt fancy and it was, without too much work if you've got the time.

This was the first cheesecake I ever made, it was pretty simple to do and that was important to me as I’d been struggling for a while and temporarily quit baking. For it’s simplicity it was really good and I’ve made it again several times

Absolutely delicious and foolproof.

Loved this chocolate cheesecake! This will be my new go-to chocolate dessert. The cocoa and dark chocolate made it super rich and chocolaty. Soooo good!

Delicious!

Absolutely recommend this recipe. Love it.
