Technically, this cheesecake recipe can be served all year but since it’s a no-bake frozen cheesecake it really is more of a summer thing. It combines two of my favorite things – chocolate and coffee – for a rich, cold, and creamy dessert that is great for a summer celebration or just because you’re craving something special.

It has all the things we love in a no-bake dessert: a creamy no-bake cheesecake filling, a crunchy cookie crust that also doubles as a topping, and just enough coffee flavor to take it to a coffee house-meets-dessert level.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

  • You can buy Oreo cookie crumbs or crush whole cookies in a food processor. You can also use chocolate wafer cookie crumbs or make a graham cracker crust for this recipe.
  • If you don’t want to make homemade whipped cream, you can substitute 8 ounces of prepared whipped topping. Just make sure to thaw it first.
  • For a plain no-bake chocolate cheesecake, omit the coffee granules.
  • For an extra chocolate kick, fold some chocolate chips into the filling before pouring it into the prepared pan. Or drizzle some melted dark chocolate ganache or melted chocolate over the top before serving.
  • Keep the leftover cheesecake in the freezer.

Happy no-baking!
