Description

This Frozen Hot Chocolate Cheesecake is a decadent no-bake dessert combining the rich flavors of chocolate sandwich cookie crust, creamy chocolate cheesecake filling with hot cocoa mix, and a light whipped cream topping. Perfect for chocolate lovers and holiday gatherings, this chilled treat offers a smooth, creamy texture with bursts of mini chocolate chips in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 20 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos), finely crushed
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup hot cocoa mix (sweetened, not sugar-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Topping (optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with the melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust. Place the crust in the freezer to chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, hot cocoa mix, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring it holds its shape.
  3. Combine whipped cream with filling: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream to keep the filling light and airy.
  4. Add chocolate chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the filling to add texture and bursts of chocolate.
  5. Assemble and freeze: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Freeze the cheesecake for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight until firm and set.
  6. Serve: Before serving, allow the frozen cheesecake to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Optionally, top each slice with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for added indulgence.

Notes

  • Use sweetened hot cocoa mix to ensure the best chocolate flavor balance.
  • For cleaner slices, dip your knife in warm water and wipe it clean between cuts.
  • This cheesecake can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in the freezer to maintain freshness.
