    We can't resist this rich & creamy, easy No Bake "Death By Chocolate" Cheesecake with an Oreo cookie crust & decadent chocolate ganache! It's to die for! 🙂

    'If I get to choose how I die, I wish to go by way of chocolate cheesecake and I might as well enjoy myself on the way out, right?!'  Spoken like a true Chocoholic!  I should know.  This is serious folks!

    Easy No Bake "Death By Chocolate" Cheesecake

    And this is what happens when you don't have an oven because your kitchen is getting a make-over!

    Everyone is Fall baking...except me! But, I'm OK with that, for the moment, as long as it involves chocolate.  🙂  Especially chocolate cheesecake!

    Easy No Bake "Death By Chocolate" Cheesecake

    Since Halloween is around the corner, this Easy No Bake "Death By Chocolate" Cheesecake seems real fitting, hence the name.

    I suppose if you want to make it more party-scary festive, you could add some "Death by Chocolate" tombstones or fake bloody fingers on top.

    Personally, I can't force myself to eat Halloween foods that look realistically scary and gory!!  I get extremely squeamish.

    So, if I was smart and wanted to diet, this would be the way to go.  So, could ya just blind-fold me, so I don't see that stuff?

    But let's talk about this cheesecake?!  It's extremely perfect for any season, any holiday, or any day of the week!  No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake and Oreo Chocolate Ganache Cheesecake are also calling your name!

    You could even add some seasonal fresh fruit, candies, nuts and/or whipped cream to give it your own personal touches.

    It's limitless what you can do, once you have a basic chocolate cheesecake recipe, like this.

    This is a super, easy recipe to make and anyone that partakes, is going to think you slaved away to make it, because it's so impressive looking.

    But it's not as complicated as all that, so pat yourself on the back!  Chocolate Lovers!  You may want to check out this Whipped Chocolate Cream Pie!

    Easy No Bake "Death By Chocolate" Cheesecake

    Ingredients You need

    Oreo Crust

    • Oreos, crushed into crumbs 
    • butter 

    Chocolate Cheesecake

    • good quality milk or semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips 
    • heavy cream
    • powdered sugar
    • chocolate extract or vanilla extract, I used Massey Nielson's chocolate extract, but you can use any kind of extract flavoring you want.
    • cream cheese
    • granulated sugar

    Chocolate Ganache

    • heavy cream
    • good quality milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips or bar chopped
    • Optional: Dark Chocolate Bar grated on top

    How to Make Easy No Bake "Death By Chocolate" Cheesecake

    1. Grease or spray with non-stick spray into the base and sides of a 9" springform pan and set aside.
    2. Mix together the Oreo crumbs and melted butter until mixed well.
    3. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and refrigerate while preparing the cheesecake.
    4. Using a mixer, whip the heavy cream on high speed until it starts to get thick, then add the powdered sugar and chocolate extract to the heavy cream and whip until stiff peeks form.
    5. In another bowl, using a mixer or whisk together the cream cheese and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth.
    6. Add the melted chocolate, and mix until well combined. Fold in the whipped cream and fold until chocolate is mixed through.
    7. Spread the mixture over the Oreo crust and spread top evenly.
    8. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours - preferably overnight.
    9. Microwave the chocolate chips in 20 second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted.
    10. Add heavy cream to melted chocolate and mix together well until smooth and creamy.
    11. Grate chocolate and sprinkle on edge of cheesecake.
    12. Spread over the cheesecake.
    13. Serve and get ready for your chocolate buzz!

    Other Option for Ganache, if you want to make this lighter.  Make this a luscious cream pie chocolate cheesecake by adding whipped cream on top with some chocolate shavings instead of the ganache.

    Easy No Bake "Death By Chocolate" Cheesecake

    The hardest part is waiting to eat this rich, yet basic chocolate cheesecake recipe.  (It's best to let it sit overnight or up to 6 hours.)

    Especially if you're a chocoholic who loves to indulge in ultra-rich chocolate desserts!   It's pure torture to wait, but totally worth it when you can finally have a slice of pure chocolate heaven touching your lips!
