How to make no bake chocolate cheesecake recipe
Step 1 – Melt the chocolate chips until creamy and smooth. Set aside to cool. I use the microwave for this. Cook for 15-30 seconds and stir until melted.
Step 2 – Spray a 9-inch pie pan with non-stick spray.
Step 3 – In a medium bowl stir together the Oreo crumbs and melted butter.
Step 4 – Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and place the prepared crust in the freezer while you make the filling.
Step 5 – In the bowl of a stand mixer (or bowl and hand mixer), beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until soft.
Step 6 – Then beat in the sour cream, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract.
Step 7 – Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until evenly combined.
Step 8 – Use a rubber spatula to spread the filling over the prepared cookie crust in an even layer.
Step 9 – For the best results, place the cheesecake in the fridge for at least 4 hours to chill and set up.
Pro Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 4 days.
Recipe FAQs
The chocolate hardens during cooling, giving a chocolate mousse its firm texture. Using too little chocolate results in a texture that isn’t firm enough.

Hi Judy, No you are correct. I had it listed twice but I have edited the recipe card. It should only be 8 ounces of chocolate chips. Thanks for letting me know :)

Hello, Would this turn out ok without the whipped cream mixed in it? I have all of the other ingredients.
