Description
Simple, quick chocolate cheesecakes made without baking, served in individual cups.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, for topping
Instructions
- Mix graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a bowl. Pour in melted butter and mix until combined. Press about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of 6 small serving cups or ramekins. Chill the crusts for 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crusts.
- Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, top each cheesecake with a few chocolate chips.
Notes
- You can substitute chocolate wafer crumbs for graham cracker crumbs for a different flavor base.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
- If you do not have individual cups, you can make one 8-inch cheesecake in a springform pan.
