No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake.

Ingredients:

Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 7 graham crackers)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Filling:

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream, whipped

Chocolate Ganache (optional):

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 oz semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl.
  3. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool completely.

Filling:

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Sift in cocoa powder and beat until smooth.
  4. Fold in whipped cream until just combined.
  5. Pour filling over the cooled crust.
  6. Chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until set.

Chocolate Ganache (optional):

  1. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
  2. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Stir until smooth.
  3. Let cool slightly before drizzling over the cheesecake.

Tips:

  • You can use a food processor to grind the graham crackers into crumbs.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round pan, but it might be more difficult to remove the cheesecake.
  • To make the cheesecake even more decadent, add a layer of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the crust before adding the filling.
