No Bake Rocky Road Cheesecake Recipe

Rocky Road is one of my favourite, go to, easy peasy treats to make. George and Harri love helping me bash biscuits and mix a batch up and if never fails to please when you deliver a tin of the chocolatey treat to a grateful friend. It was inevitable that I’d make a cheesecake version at some point wasn’t it?! So here you have it, my sparkly new No Bake Rocky Road Cheesecake recipe.

How do you make a No Bake Cheesecake biscuit base?

Crush biscuits of your choice until they are even sized, sandy lumps. Add in melted butter and mix well. I do both of these steps in a food processor which makes it super easy. In this recipe chocolate digestive biscuits are used to give an extra chocolatey kick. If you use plain (non chocolate biscuits) you may need to add a little extra butter as the mixture will be more dry. Then press the mixture into a loose bottomed tin. Don’t press too hard or it will become impossible to cut when chilled, just until it’s compacted.

How do you make a Chocolate No Bake Cheesecake?

This no bake chocolate cheesecake recipe is so simple and easy to make. The chocolate chills and helps it to remain stable. I use milk chocolate to give a subtle creamy taste but feel free to substitute dark chocolate in the cheesecake if you’d prefer. Be careful to let the chocolate cool for just a couple of minutes before you stir it into the cream and cream cheese mixture. If it’s too hot it will make the mixture sloppy, but if it goes too cold the chocolate will clump when it touches the cold mixture.

How long does it take for a No Bake Cheesecake to set?

Three hours is the minimum time you should allow for your no bake cheesecake to set in the refrigerator. Overnight is even better and will give you a much firmer cheesecake. If you are in a rush you can set for one – two hours in the freezer but I find that a little unpredictable as sometimes they don’t set quite as evenly. Moral of the story, if you have time, the fridge overnight is best.

Can you freeze a No Bake Cheesecake?

Yes you can freeze this Chocolate No Bake Cheesecake before you add the topping. Keep it in the tin and freeze until you’re ready to use it (in line with the freezing recommendations on the ingredients list). Then defrost in the fridge overnight and top with the marshmallows and chocolates before serving.
