Irresistible No-Bake Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake Recipe
This No-Bake Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake features a buttery graham cracker crust, a rich chocolate filling, and a creamy cheesecake layer. Its smooth texture and balanced sweetness create a symphony of flavor that melts in your mouth, delivering a delightful chocolate experience.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional for garnish)
- Chocolate shavings or syrup for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing 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 well combined.
- Add Chocolate: Divide the cheesecake mixture in half. Mix the melted chocolate into one half until fully incorporated.
- Layer the Cheesecake: Spoon half of the plain cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust, followed by the chocolate mixture. Use a spatula to swirl the two layers together gently. Top with the remaining plain cheesecake mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with chocolate shavings or syrup, if desired, before slicing and serving.
