Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Chocolate Layer

Start by melting the milk or dark chocolate. Use a double boiler or microwave for a smooth consistency. Once melted, allow it to cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine the melted chocolate with the cream cheese and heavy cream. Blend until you achieve a creamy texture. Make sure it's well mixed for the best flavor.

Step 2

Create the White Layer

Next, melt the white chocolate in the same manner as before. Allow it to cool for a few moments.

In another bowl, mix the melted white chocolate with the cream cheese and heavy cream, blending thoroughly. This layer will add a nice contrast to your cheesecake.

Step 3

Prepare the Caramel Layer

In a saucepan, combine the glucose syrup and sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it turns a golden amber color.

Once it reaches the right color, deglaze the pan with the hot heavy cream that's been infused with coffee beans. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.

Add the butter and gelatin solution to the mixture and blend again until combined. This caramel will add a rich flavor to your cheesecake.

Step 4

Assemble the Cheesecake

Begin layering the cheesecake in a box or mold. Start with the chocolate layer, then freeze or stabilize it before adding the white layer.

Repeat the process with the caramel layer, ensuring each layer is slightly set before adding the next.

Continue until all layers are complete, then refrigerate the cheesecake until fully set. Serve and enjoy this delightful dessert!

Servings

When it comes to serving your no-bake cheesecake, the possibilities are endless! 🌟 Consider dressing it up with a drizzle of warm caramel sauce on top. The sweetness of the caramel pairs exceptionally well with the rich chocolate and creamy layers, creating a beautiful contrast.

For added crunch and texture, crumble some cookies or nuts on top. This not only enhances the presentation but also gives your cheesecake an exciting crunch! Try it with crushed graham crackers or pistachios—your guests will be amazed! 🍪

Finally, don't forget to garnish with fresh berries or mint leaves. They not only add a pop of color but also bring a refreshing taste to balance the richness of the cheesecake. Serve chilled for the ultimate dessert experience! ❄️

Equipment

Mixing Bowls

You'll need multiple bowls to prepare the different layers. Opt for glass or stainless steel bowls, as they are easy to clean and durable.

We recommend:

Variations

Gluten-Free Variation: For a gluten-free version of this cheesecake, simply use gluten-free cookies for the base or no base at all, as this doesn't require baking. You can also make your own gluten-free graham cracker crust if you desire! 🥳

Vegan Variation: To adapt this delicious treat for a vegan diet, replace the cream cheese with a vegan alternative made from cashews or soy. Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream, and ensure the chocolate used is dairy-free. Your fruity and nutty layers will still be luscious and satisfying! 🌱

Faq

  • What if I don't have a blender?

    You can use a hand mixer instead; just be sure to whip the cream and other ingredients until smooth and creamy.

  • How do I know when my caramel is ready?

    Keep a close eye on it! The caramel should be a deep amber color and have a delicious smell. It’s best to remove it from the heat once it reaches that golden hue to avoid burning.

    Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with white, milk, or dark chocolate based on your taste preference.

    This cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for about 3 to 5 days, but it's usually gone much faster!

  • What if my layers don't set properly?

    If the layers are too soft, make sure to chill each layer for long enough before adding the next. You can also add more gelatin for extra firmness.

  • Can I freeze this cheesecake?

    Yes, this cheesecake freezes well! Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container. It can last up to a month in the freezer.
