Cheesecake is one of my all time favorite desserts, but it is no small feat to bake a cheesecake. My grandmama used to make no bake cheesecake from a box. She wasn’t one to use boxed desserts often but that was one of her ways of cutting down on the time and work to make cheesecake. Cheesecake in a box is full of chemicals and fake foods, so it’s not something that appeals to me any more. You can make your own no bake cheesecake without a box of powdered chemicals.
This weekend I was craving chocolate cheesecake so I experimented and whipped up this little beauty:
No Bake Double Chocolate Cheesecake
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp Super Sweet Blend (or more to taste)
- 1 doonk (1/32 tsp) stevia
- 8 oz light or full fat cream cheese
- 4 tbsp cocoa
- 1/4 cup Lily’s chocolate chips
- pinch of salt
- splash pure vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp finely chopped nuts
In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric hand mixer, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside in refrigerator.
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, whip cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Mix in cocoa, sweetener, and extracts. Next fold almost all of whipped cream leaving a tablespoon or two for garnish. Sprinkle nuts evenly into bottom of four jars or dessert dishes. Layer cheeescake mixture over nuts. Pipe or spoon whipped cream over top and sprinkle with a few chocolate chips. Chill in refrigerator 2 hours.
Enjoy!
