Make a rich, creamy chocolate cheesecake without turning on your oven. This recipe uses a simple Oreo crust and a decadent, fudgy filling that sets perfectly in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (about 30 cookies)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Optional topping: Whipped cream, chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  3. Incorporate chocolate: Pour the cooled, melted semi-sweet chocolate into the cream cheese mixture. Beat until the mixture is uniform and smooth.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate, clean bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture in two additions until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Assemble: Pour the filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm.
  8. Serve: Before serving, carefully release the sides of the springform pan. Top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

  • For the easiest removal, line the bottom of the springform pan with a circle of parchment paper before adding the crust.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor in this no bake chocolate dessert.
  • If you prefer a darker flavor, substitute 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate with 4 ounces of bittersweet chocolate.
