Smooth creamy decadent no bake chocolate cheesecake, just for you.

Like my other no bake cheesecakes, this recipe is simple yet extremely delicious.

Perfect For The Holidays

Yes the holiday season is upon us. It’s my favourite time of the year!

What is more appropriate than going all chocolaty for the holidays, right?

In our house I’m the one who’s not into sweets (yes, it’s unbelievable for all the sweet treats that I’ve been making) but I simple LOVE to cook and bake. My husband and his side of the family simply love sweet treats so it definitely works out for us in the end ??

And for some reason when the holiday season is approaching I find myself craving for chocolaty treats. Do you feel the same?

I’ve been telling Marco, ohhh we HAVE to make a no bake CHOCOLATE cheesecake! Him being a sweet tooth, I didn’t need to convince him that much. Haha!

So if you’re looking for something elegant, decadent and amazing then look no more. Try this. I promise everybody will love it.

Let’s get on with the recipe, shall we?

The Chocolate Cheesecake

This cheesecake has NO GELATIN in it. Yep. Many of you have been asking for cheesecakes that have no gelatin in it so here it is ??

I’m using semisweet 55% cocoa chocolate for this recipe. I find it has a perfect balance of sweetness and chocolaty taste to flavour this lovely cheesecake.

If you’re into dark chocolate, by all means use it if you want to. Just know that the exact strong slightly bitter taste of a dark chocolate will be transferred into the cheesecake.

And of course, your cheesecake will be slightly darker.

I’m using a pinch of salt in the chocolate cheesecake mixture. It might sound weird to use salt in a sweet dish but trust me, it will bring out the chocolate taste to another level.

What I like to do with the chocolate is melt it first before I start whisking my cream cheese and everything else. This will give the melted chocolate a bit of time to cool down before I use it later.
