No-Bake Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake Recipe

This No-Bake Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake features a light and airy mousse that contrasts beautifully with the dense, creamy cheesecake. The combination creates a symphony of chocolate flavor that is both rich and refreshing, making it the perfect dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup heavy cream, divided
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for dusting (optional)
• Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
2. Make the Cheesecake Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually fold in ½ cup of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well blended. Spread this mixture over the crust; smooth the top with a spatula.
3. Prepare the Mousse: In another bowl, beat the remaining ½ cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted dark chocolate until well combined. Carefully spread the chocolate mousse over the cheesecake layer in the springform pan.
4. Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
5. Serve: Once set, run a knife around the edges of the springform pan and carefully remove the sides. Dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings before slicing and serving.
