Description
A rich and creamy no-bake cheesecake that combines the flavors of brownie batter and classic cheesecake, perfect for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup brownie mix (dry mix straight from the box — heat-treated)
- ½ cup melted chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
- 1 cup whipped cream (or Cool Whip)
- 2 tbsp brownie mix or cocoa powder, for garnish
- Chocolate drizzle, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Mix Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Heat-Treat the Brownie Mix (for safety): Spread 1 cup brownie mix on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes, stirring halfway through. Cool completely before using.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add brownie mix and mix until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy. If using melted chocolate, fold it in now for a richer flavor.
- Assemble: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (overnight is best) until firm.
- Top and Serve: Spread whipped cream on top of the set cheesecake. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and sprinkle with cocoa or brownie mix. Slice and enjoy cold!
Notes
- You can use a brownie crust instead of Oreo: bake brownies in the pan, let cool completely, and add cheesecake layer on top.
- For a swirl effect, layer chocolate cheesecake and vanilla cheesecake fillings alternately.
- Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
