This gorgeous Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake takes almost no time to make and does not require baking! An easy, yet impressive dessert that is perfect for summertime!
Does anyone else have a garden that's absolutely FULL of raspberries right now? They just keep coming, so I've just kept on making this cheesecake which uses plenty of fresh raspberries. I made this 3 times last week!! That means we've eaten 6 (8-ounce) blocks of cream cheese in the past week, but let's just not talk about that.
As I was editing these photos, it occurred to me that this would make for an amazing Valentine's Day dessert. It's so elegant and decadent looking with the chocolate and juicy red raspberries. And it's cheesecake, like come on!! 😍 All the heart eyes!!!
While you don't have to top this cheesecake with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce, I highly recommend that you do!! It just adds to the experience.
Let's go over the 3 easy steps to making this no bake Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake:
Start with the Oreo crumb crust: simply mix Oreo baking crumbs and melted butter, press into a greased springform pan and refrigerate while you make the filling.
Filling: beat cream cheese, some sugar, and vanilla. Add melted chocolate. Then some whipping cream and blend until fluffy. Smooth over the crust, arrange the raspberries on top all pretty, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. That's it!
Topping: just fresh raspberries (plus additional whipped cream and chocolate sauce, if you're super extra). Or you could top this showstopping cheesecake with a raspberry sauce made from frozen raspberries if they aren't in season right now where you are.
