How to Make No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Dessert

  1. For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers (1 ½ cups), brown sugar (¼ cup packed), cinnamon (½ teaspoon), and melted butter (6 tablespoons). Mix until well combined.
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  3. For the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese (16 ounces, softened) and sugar (1 cup) until smooth and creamy.
  4. Beat in cocoa powder (⅓ cup unsweetened), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), and salt (¼ teaspoon).
  5. In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream (2 cups, cold) until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture until just combined.
  7. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  9. Once set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries (optional).
