Irresistible No-Bake Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake
This No-Bake Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake features a luscious chocolate filling that is both rich and smooth, balanced by a crisp, buttery graham cracker crust. Each bite offers an explosion of chocolate flavor that is both creamy and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Gradually mix in the melted chocolate and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder before slicing and serving.
