Refrigerator Chocolate Cheesecake Recipes

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Line a 9" (23cm) springform pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Crust: In a large bowl, stir together Oreo crumbs, melted butter, and cocoa until well combined and evenly moist. Transfer to the prepared pan and use the bottom of a flat-bottomed cup to press the crumbs into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan. Freeze until the filling is prepared.
• Filling: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk or paddle attachment, beat cream cheese until creamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar and cocoa and mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in the vanilla and melted chocolate just to combine. Add heavy whipping cream and mix until soft peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.
• Spoon filling into the crust and spread evenly. Chill in the fridge for 4 hours or until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

DEEPEST DARKEST CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch-diameter springform pan with cooking spray.
• For the crust: In a food processor, grind the cookies until finely ground. Blend in the sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and process until well blended; it should be the consistency of wet sand. Press the crumbs evenly onto the bottom (not the sides) of the prepared pan. (Or just place the cookie crumb-sugar mixture in the pan, pour the melted butter in and combine.) Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake just until set, about 7 minutes. Allow it to cool while preparing the filling.
• For the filling: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until melted, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every minute until the chocolate is completely melted. In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar and cocoa powder together, smoothing out any lumps of cocoa powder. In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, and then add the sugar-cocoa powder mixture. Add the orange zest, prepared coffee or espresso powder at this time, if using. Beat until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides and bottom with a rubber scraper when necessary. Blend in the eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in the lukewarm chocolate and stir until combined.
• Pour the filling over the cooled crust, tap the pan on the table top to remove any air pockets, and then smooth the top to even out. Bake until the center is just set (jiggles like set gelatin) and looks just dry, about 1 hour 10 minutes, rotating halfway. Cool 5 minutes. Run a knife around sides of the cake to loosen, but do not remove from the springform pan. Chill the cake in the refrigerator overnight.
• For the glaze: Stir the heavy cream, chopped chocolate, honey and prepared coffee in a heavy, medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Cool slightly. Pour over the center of the cheesecake, spreading to within 1/2-inch of the cheesecake's edge and filling any cracks. Chill until topping is set, about 1 hour.
• Transfer the cheesecake to a platter and release from the springform pan. Serve cold, or allow to come to room temperature, about 2 hours.
