If you enjoy easy to make creamy desserts, you are in the right place. This no bake chocolate cheesecake recipe takes only a few minutes to put together, and it tastes amazing.

My family loves no bake cheesecakes. They like the lighter softer creamy texture and all of the cream cheese flavor.

This recipe is actually based on my no bake cheesecake with condensed milk recipe. I just knew adding chocolate would be wonderful.

You know what? I was right!

The filling only takes four ingredients. The fluffy texture is soft and delicious, but it is solid enough to serve as a nice slice.

It is sweet enough, but not too sweet. And the tang of the cream cheese really comes through.

It is fabulous on its own. It would also be great with a drizzle of hot fudge sauce or some cherry pie filling.

Making this Easy No-Bake Cheesecake Recipe

Start by getting your crust together. You can make a no bake Oreo crust for an extra chocolate punch or make your own graham cracker crust.

You could also make a fun crust from Nutter Butters or even Golden Oreos. Or there is no shame in picking up a premade graham cracker or chocolate crust if you would like.

For the best results, make sure the cream cheese is good and softened before you get started. That is key to getting the smoothest filling.

Then beat the cream cheese until it is smooth. Be sure to scrape the beaters and the sides of the bowl a few times along the way.

Adding sour cream adds the acid you need to set the cheesecake without watering it down. So beat that in and scoop the cream cheese filling into your crust.

I like using melted milk chocolate in the filling because the base isn’t overly sweet, and milk chocolate is Little Dude’s favorite. However, you can use your favorite chocolate or whatever kind of chocolate chips you have in the pantry.

Now, chill your pie for several hours. It will take at least three or four hours to cut a decent slice. Overnight is even better if you have the chance to make the cheesecake a day in advance.

To make serving your cheesecake even easier and reduce the chill time, make mini cheesecakes in jars. Just layer the crumb mixture, cheesecake batter, and any topping you would like in small 4 oz. jars.

An Oreo crust also works really well with this cheesecake pie. 
You can also freeze this cheesecake and serve it from frozen. It still has a really nice creamy texture and cuts into pieces nicely.

    This cheesecake does not set well. Very difficult to serve up.

    1. I’m sorry it didn’t set for you. It seems it either really works well for people, or really doesn’t. I haven’t figured out what the difference is yet.

      A little secret I learned a long time ago; I was a waitress at Ryan Steak House here in Florida. For every 1/3 cup of sour cream 1 tsp of lemon juice. Not to give a lemony taste but just enough to make everything firm up together

      1. That’s a good tip! The acid from the lemon juice really does help to hold it together.
