How to make no-bake chocolate cheesecake?
Spray an 8-inch springform pan with cooking oil. Bake brownies as directed on package, cool completely, then prepare the no-bake cheesecake.
Microwave chocolate chips for 1 minute, then in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and butter until creamy.
Stir in cooled melted chocolate, then gently fold in Cool Whip. Mix in mini chocolate chips and spread over cooled brownies.
Place in the refrigerator until firm and set for 1-2 hours.
Garnish the cheesecake with drizzles of hot fudge sauce before slicing and serving.
The most significant difference is the variation in texture. Baked cheesecake is usually more dense and velvety, while no-bake cheesecakes are typically lighter and airier.
Additionally, convenience plays a big role. No-bake cheesecakes are simpler to set and quicker to make, perfect during the summer when you can’t bear to be in a hot kitchen.

Fudge Brownie No-Bake Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix or for a fully no-bake recipe, buy a premade brownie and cut to fit to an 8 inch spring-form pan

- 12 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened

Instructions

Can this be made ahead and frozen?
Holy crud. Could there be a more perfect dessert? I don’t think so! Totally pinning this!
I’m a vegetarian. Plz help me to hv anything instead of egg in the brownie recipe
This cheesecake looks divine!
These look perfectly chocolatey. Great pictures too.
Oh, my. How insanely rich and decadent!
Can I make the fudge sauce ahead of time, put it in the fridge and then warm it up in a jar before serving? I’m bringing it to a dessert night so serving immediately isn’t an option! Thanks
This looks delicious and easy to prepare too. I can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipes.
So question- my daughter wants this for a birthday cake- but a round normal size cheesecake pan won’t work (and I don’t own a springform pan anyway). any tips for how to adapt this to a 9 x 13 pan? do I need to up quantities at all? also- how thick/solid does the hot fudge sauce get? wondering if it could be used as “frosting” on the cake (ie, done the night before), or if its too runny for that? Thanks so much for your help!
Gurrrrl! This looks AMAZING. You had me at cheesecake. #nomnomnom
