Have you ever made a no-bake cheesecake that didn’t turn out right? Maybe it was never set up, leaving a soft mess in the pan, or the texture was just off. Well, you won’t have any problems with this chocolate cheesecake. It’s a tried and true recipe that I’ve made countless times.

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

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened

Instructions

Hello! So I’m thinking of making this for christmas, do you think it’s possible to mirror glaze it it or will the brownies be too lumpy? I thought if i froze it would be easier but maybe not
The chocolate chips do make it so it’s not completely smooth, but maybe if you set aside some of the cheesecake without the added chocolate chips and spread it over the rest, you could possibly get it smooth enough for the glaze to work right. Let us know how it turns out!
