This no-bake chocolate cheesecake has a deliciously rich chocolate filling that whips up easily with the best of ingredients and no gelatin! This recipe was passed down to me from my mom.
Ingredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup salted butter, melted
1/2 cup white sugar, divided
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
2 or 3 tablespoons hot water as needed
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions
Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and 1 tablespoon of sugar; press crumb mixture into bottom and 1/2-inch up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Refrigerate crust while you make the filling.
Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in the microwave on high power for 1 to 2 minutes, or until melted, stirring every 15 seconds; set aside to cool.
