Vanilla No Bake Cheesecake With A Chocolate Cookie Crust Recipes

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Crush the cookies until fine crumbs either using a food processor, blender, or by placing the cookies in a ziploc bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
• Mix in the melted butter.
• Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Place in the freezer as you make the filling.
• Chop the dark chocolate into pieces and add to a microwave safe bowl along with 1/3 cup of the whipping cream.
• Microwave on medium power (not high) for 45-second intervals, stirring between each until glassy and smooth. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the remaining 1 cup whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
• In a separate large bowl beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
• Beat in the melted chocolate mixture, followed by the sour cream.
• Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is smooth - I usually do this in 2 batches.
• Spoon the cheesecake filling into the Oreo crust, and smooth the top.
• Cover the pan, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE-CRUST CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Place cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add 3 tablespoons sugar and 6 tablespoons butter and mix until evenly moistened. If needed, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Press into bottom and 3/4 of the way up the sides of a 6-inch springform pan. Freeze while you prepare the filling.
• Make the filling: Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, lemon juice, and remaining 1/3 cup sugar on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. In another bowl, whip cream to soft peaks; gently fold into cream cheese mixture (do not overmix.) Pour filling over frozen crust, spreading evenly to edges. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze until set, at least 30 minutes. Transfer to refrigerator and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
• To serve, press half of the raspberries through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl to create a puree. Slice cake and serve drizzled with puree and topped with remaining berries.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE COOKIE CHEESECAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Spoon cheesecake filling into large bowl. Remove 1/3 cup of the chopped cookies; set aside. Add remaining chopped cookies to filling; stir just until blended.
• Spoon into crust. Smooth top lightly with back of spoon to form even layer. Sprinkle with the reserved chopped cookies.
• Serve immediately. Or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
