Tips for Making No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake
No bake chocolate cheesecake is undeniably one of the best and easiest desserts to make. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll make the next even more delicious than the last. Here are some tricks you might want to keep in mind:
- Do not overbeat the cream. Just enough until it forms stiff peaks. This will give you a thick and fluffy texture and later on.
- Don’t mix the mixture for too long, it will result in a very soft consistency that will not be able to hold up.
- When melting the chocolate, make sure it will not have contact with water to avoid seizing. If this happens, you may have to start with a new batch of chocolate.
- Make sure that your melted chocolate is cool before adding it to the mixture. This is to ensure that the temperature will not ruin your cake’s texture.
- Top it with your favorite toppings, like a strawberry rhubarb compote for one. You can also enjoy this no bake chocolate cheesecake with cocoa powder or make it on top.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my no bake cheesecake not firm?
There are several factors that may have caused this problem. One of them is that your cheesecake didn’t have enough time in the fridge. You should be chilling it for at least 4 hours in the fridge to set, but it’s best to leave it overnight. Another reason the filling did not set is that you have over-mixed it. You might have knocked out all the air in the mixture, making the filling too soft.
How do you stiffen a no bake cheesecake?
To stiffen your chocolate cheesecake, make sure to beat the cold heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Note that beating whipped filling too much will result in a runny consistency. If this happens, your no bake cheesecake will not set. Folding it gently is another way to ensure that you trap the necessary air inside the mixture. In case your cheesecake is too runny, you can use gelatin to help your cheesecake firm up.
