One of our favourite places to go to when we visit America is The Cheesecake Factory. We seriously love it and usually end up going there multiple times each trip. I always opt for a slice of their banana cream cheesecake – comfort food at it’s best.

Let's Bake
No Bake Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake
A creamy chocolate cheesecake with an Oreo crust.
Ingredients
Cheesecake
- 200 grams (approximately 20) Oreo cookies
- 60 grams (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 500 grams (2 and 1/2 cups) cream cheese, room temperature
- 50 grams (1/4 cup) caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 360 ml (1 and 1/2 cup) thickened or heavy cream*
- 150 grams (1 cup) good quality dark chocolate
Topping
- 360 ml (1 and 1/2 cups) thickened or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon icing or powdered sugar
- 250 grams (1 and 1/2 cups) fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9 inch springform baking tin with a little butter and set aside.
- Add Oreo cookies (cream and all) to a food processor and blend until they resemble fine crumbs. Melt butter in the microwave and pour over your crushed Oreos and whiz again the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Pour Oreo mixture into your prepared tin and press down gently to form an even layer. Pop in the fridge.
- Add cream cheese, sugar and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, add cream and beat with an electric mixer until whipped. Finally, melt your dark chocolate in the microwave until it is just melted – give it a good stir.
- Add your chocolate to your cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth. Then gently fold through the whipped cream. Pour your cheesecake over the top of your Oreos and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, even better, overnight.
- To decorate, place cream in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until stiff and whipped. Then sift in icing sugar and cocoa and gently fold through. Pop your chocolate cream in a piping bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe along the edges. Decorate with fresh raspberries.
Notes
*Just be sure to use a cream that’s suitable for whipping as this is what gives the filling its stability. Here in Australia, it’s called thickened cream. Look for a high-fat cream (at least 35% fat) that clearly states it’s suitable for whipping. Do not use a light or low-fat version.

Lovely recipe. I changed it slightly by using blackberries instead of raspberries so this chocolate cheesecake could definitely work with any berry you choose. Delicious and easy to do. Will definitely be making it again. Thankyou for recipe.
