An ultra gourmet recipe for dessert: the No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake ! A creamy and melting texture based on chocolate, fresh cheese and mascarpone on a thin layer of biscuits mixed with cocoa... No need for an oven or gelatin for this simple and quick recipe to prepare.
What you'll love with this chocolate cheesecake
- flavors : 100% chocolate thanks to the melted dark chocolate filling and the cocoa biscuit base.
- Textures : very melting and creamy at the level of the filling and also crunchy at its base thanks to the mixed biscuits.
- Difficulty level : this chocolate cheesecake is very easy to make since it requires no cooking and no added gelatin. Plan a 20cm round springform pan to achieve it.
Ingredient details
- Biscuits : I took Oreos to reinforce the cocoa side of this chocolate cheesecake. Instead, you can also use mixed small butters.
- Cream cheese : I always take the Philadelphia brand (plain) which is THE cheese for cheesecakes. If you don't like this fresh cheese, you can substitute the same amount of mascarpone.
- cream : here you need whole liquid cream at 30% mg (and very cold it is important).
- Chocolate pastry : I opt for 52% cocoa to avoid the dessert being too strong in chocolate. You can also make half dark chocolate and half milk chocolate to sweeten it.

My tips for a successful chocolate cheesecake
- for a perfect release, place a strip of rhodoid film before starting to line the mould. All you have to do is remove it before unmolding the chocolate cheesecake on the serving platter.
- for a successful whipped cream, that is to say firm and airy, your cream must be very cold. You have to whip it medium speed then slightly increase the speed until you get nice peaks.
- to obtain a smooth and homogeneous filling, just before pouring the preparation into the mould, I use an electric hand mixer to whip, it's quick and easy.
How to store your chocolate cheesecake?
This chocolate cheesecake keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days, in an airtight bell ideally to preserve its flavor. I advise you to eat it very fresh, just out of the refrigerator.

No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake
An ultra-melting cheesecake for chocolate lovers! A very greedy and simple recipe to prepare for the dessert…
Quantity: 9 parts
Ingredients:
Biscuit base
- 230 g whole Oreo cookies
- 50 g soft butter, melted
Cheesecake filling
- 245 g dark chocolate pastry 52% cocoa
- 300 g whole liquid cream 30% mg very cold
- 150 g plain Philadelphia fresh cheese
- 250 g mascarpone cheese
- 75 g Granulated sugar +/- according to your taste
- 1 cc natural vanilla extract
Décor
- 120 g whole liquid cream 30% mg very cold
- 1 cs Granulated sugar +/- according to your taste
- Chocolate chips
Preparation:
Biscuit base
- In a blender, crush the cookies into crumbs. Melt the butter in the microwave then mix with the mixed biscuits.
- Pack the mixed biscuits in the bottom of a 20cm springform pan (I add a rhodoïd film first to facilitate the unmolding of the cheesecake). Press well with the back of a spoon or a glass. Refrigerate while waiting for the rest.
Cheesecake filling
- Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave. Let cool for later.
- Whip the liquid cream until stiff and set aside.
- In a bowl, beat the Philadelphia cream cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in the warm melted chocolate. Whisk to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
- Immediately add the whipped cream to the mixture and whisk to smooth the texture. This filling should already hold together well.
- Pour this filling into the mold, on the biscuit base. Smooth the top with a spatula then refrigerate overnight (6 hours minimum).
Décor
- Unmold the cheesecake onto a serving platter and remove the rhodoïd film.
- Whip the whipped cream. As soon as it begins to take shape add the powdered sugar. Continue whisking until stiff.
- Fill a piping bag with a fluted tip with this whipped cream, then pipe small domes all around the cheesecake. Add chocolate shavings.
- Serve immediately (chilled) or refrigerate until tasting.
Notes:
This cheesecake can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, ideally in an airtight bell to preserve its flavor.

Very good dessert, creamy, not sweet, quick to make, I put half dark chocolate and half milk chocolate as proposed and it was perfect
Even better the next day when well taken
My guests liked it very much
For me it came out very easily without putting anything in the mold

Thank you Anne-Sophie for your feedback! See you soon :)

If I quickly melt Nutella and use it as frosting does it work?
Lilie bakery
Hello Marjorie, no I don't advise you, already because the nutella is not part of the recipe, and there is already enough chocolate inside the cheesecake :)
