No bake chocolate cheesecake – Words can’t describe how perfectly delicious this cheesecake is! Chocolate biscuits, cream cheese, melted chocolate and whipped cream combined together to create a fabulous centerpiece for your dessert table. It’s the best!

Even though I don’t blog about desserts very often, I’ve formed quite an obsessive relationship with everything sweet especially cheesecakes. Anyway, who doesn’t love smooth, silky, melt-in-your- mouth cheesecakes? And wait, did I mention chocolate? I mean, cheesecake overloaded with chocolate. Well, now, let’s have a look at what makes this no bake chocolate cheesecake so awesome.

First, the springform pan. If you like cheesecakes, invest in a good springform cake tin. It’s going to make all your cheesecake creations super awesome.

Second, the ingredients.

I decided on chocolate biscuits for the base. Coarsely grind them, and stir in some melted butter. Now press it down into the pan, and press it down really well. When refrigerated, this will make a very firm base.

The top of this no bake chocolate cheesecake is a combination of cream cheese, sugar, cream and heavenly chocolate. As we are going for a “no bake” version in this recipe, we need a setting agent to hold the shape of the cheesecake. And that’s where gelatine comes in. Stir gelatine into boiling water, and set aside to cool.

Store whipped cream in the refrigerator until needed. The soft peaks in the whipped cream is one factor that gives this cheesecake its amazing texture. Chocolates – milk or dark- melted and cooled adds the rich chocolatey taste.

Now, let’s bring all the ingredients together. Whip cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract together. Add gelatine and whip again. Fold in chocolate first, and then whipped cream. Pour this mixture onto the biscuit base. Refrigerate again until firm.

As Easter is just a few days away, I thought the addition of chocolate eggs will be a fabulous idea. I cut the eggs horizontally, and placed on top. Cool!
