No-Bake Easy Chocolate Cheesecake That Steals the Show Every Time
Craving a dessert that’s as indulgent as it is effortless? This no-bake chocolate cheesecake is your answer—a smooth, rich crowd-pleaser with a chocolate biscuit base and a silky filling that melts in your mouth. And the best part? No oven needed.
What You’ll Need:
For the Base:
-
200g chocolate digestive biscuits (crushed)
-
75g melted butter
For the Filling:
-
800g cream cheese
-
Icing sugar (to taste)
-
400g milk chocolate (or mix with dark chocolate for a richer bite)
-
1 tsp vegetable oil
For the Topping:
-
50g white chocolate (for decoration)
Quick Method:
-
Biscuit Base:
Mix crushed biscuits and melted butter until combined. Press firmly into a 23cm springform tin. Chill while you make the filling. -
Melt Chocolate:
Gently melt milk/dark chocolate over simmering water. Set aside ¼ of the chocolate and stir in the vegetable oil—this will be the glossy topping. -
Make the Filling:
Stir cream cheese and icing sugar in a bowl. Gradually mix in the melted chocolate a spoonful at a time to avoid curdling. Beat until smooth and velvety. -
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour filling onto the biscuit base and smooth the top. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes (or freezer for 10). -
Top with Chocolate:
Pour the reserved glossy chocolate over the top, tilt to coat evenly. Drizzle white chocolate lines, then use a cocktail stick to create a beautiful grid or feathered pattern. -
Final Chill:
Set the cheesecake for 2 hours in a cool place. Release from tin, slice, and serve with a drizzle of single cream.
Tips for Success:
-
Mixing chocolate with cream cheese slowly prevents the chocolate from seizing.
-
Use a piping bag for precise white chocolate decoration.
-
For added crunch, mix in crushed roasted nuts or toffee bits into the base.
This cheesecake isn’t just dessert—it’s a guaranteed showstopper. Perfect for birthdays, dinner parties, or just spoiling yourself.
