Description
No Bake Black Forest Cheesecake is a luscious twist on a classic dessert. With layers of rich chocolate cookie crust, creamy cheesecake filling, and sweet cherry pie topping, this no-fuss treat brings big flavor without ever turning on the oven!
Ingredients
Scale
- For the crust:
- 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- For the topping:
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- Chocolate shavings or curls (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the crust: In a medium bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
- Spoon the filling onto the prepared crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until set.
- Add topping: Once set, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls if desired.
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use homemade cherry compote for a fresher topping if preferred.
- For extra chocolate flavor, stir in mini chocolate chips to the cheesecake filling.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
