Hot Chocolate Cheesecake – No Bake
If you like the taste of hot chocolate and the taste of cheesecake, then I have just the recipe for you! Check out this Hot Chocolate Cheesecake no-bake recipe.
Hot Chocolate Cheesecake – No Bake
This hot chocolate cheesecake can be topped to fit your taste. We topped this one with the optional ganache, mini marshmallows, and a little cool whip. You can either use all as we did or just pick your favorite.
You may also be wondering if you can use an off-brand cookie as the crust and not pay the price of Oreo’s, you can! Just use the brand of your choice that is the generic for Oreo.
If you shop at Aldi, I find they have a great one that tastes just the same and is half the price.
To make this cheesecake recipe you will need a 9-inch springform pan.
How To Make This Cheesecake Recipe:
Start by greasing a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
To make the crust, chop the cookies until they are completely broken down into fine crumbs. Add the butter and mix until large crumbs form.
Press the cookie mixture into the greased springform pan and place it in the fridge.
Now we need to make the filling. Beat cream cheese and sugar for about 2 minutes or until fully combined.
Then slowly fold in the whipped topping and then the hot chocolate powder.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread it out. Refrigerate it while you make the chocolate ganache topping.
To make the topping, place milk, sugar and butter in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Stir it frequently until you have the mixture completely mixed.
Now add the vanilla and chocolate chips and stir until completely melted.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly then pour over the cheesecake. If adding mini marshmallows, be sure to do that while ganache is still wet.
Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.

Just wanted to say, I made this and it tastes WONDERFUL. I can never follow a recipe exactly because I don’t usually have the tools/exact ingredients, but I crunched the Oreos with a pestle and used whipped cream made from whipping cream I had in the fridge—no ganache or marshmallows—it is SO GOOD. Thank you for sharing a recipe which is easy enough that even someone without many tools or all the right ingredients can make and still have taste fantastic!!!
