    How to Make Easy Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

    Creating this chocolate chip cheesecake is super simple! First, prepare the graham cracker crust by melting the butter and mixing the melted butter with graham cracker crumbs and a bit of sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan to form the cookie crust.

    Next, make the filling by beating cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and fluffy, then gently fold in the whipped topping. Spread this over the crust.

    Tips for Making

    Tip 1: Cream cheese straight from the fridge can be difficult to mix smoothly. Allow it to soften at room temperature for 30 minutes before using.

    Tip 2: Give the no-bake cake enough time to chill and set properly. A minimum of one hour is recommended, but overnight chilling will give you even better results.

    Tip 3: When pressing the graham cracker crumb mixture into the pan, use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to create an even layer.

    FAQs For Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

    Can I Make No Bake Cheesecake With Fresh Whipped Cream?

    If you don't have whipped topping on hand, you can easily make your own by mixing heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer until stiff peaks form. Then, use it in place of the store-bought whipped topping.

    What Toppings Can I Add To No Bake Cheesecake?

    You can customize your cheesecake with a variety of toppings or mix-ins. Topping it with fresh fruit slices, such as strawberries or blueberries, provides a refreshing burst of flavor and color.

    Drizzling caramel sauce or chocolate syrup over the top can add a decorative touch. You can also try sprinkling chopped nuts on top. Almonds, pecans, or walnuts can provide a satisfying crunch.

    How To Store Chocolate Chip Cheesecake?

    Your no-bake cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to keep it covered, either with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. This prevents it from absorbing any odors.

    If you don't plan to eat this right away, you can freeze any leftovers. To freeze, wrap the cheesecake pan tightly in plastic wrap and then cover it with aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.

    When you're ready to enjoy it, let the cheesecake thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

    No Bake Cake Essentials

    To make this recipe, you'll need a few basic kitchen tools, which are easy to find on Amazon. A medium bowl and either a hand mixer or stand mixer are necessary to beat the cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. A 9x13-inch pan is the perfect size for your cheesecake.
