With layers of chocolate cookie crust, creamy cheesecake mousse, glossy ganache, and crunchy chocolate chunks, it delivers a perfect harmony of textures — smooth, airy, and satisfyingly decadent.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos, finely crushed)
- ¼ cup melted butter
For the Cheesecake Mousse:
- 12 oz (340g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream (whipped to soft peaks)
For the Ganache Topping:
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy cream
For Garnish:
- Chopped chocolate chunks or curls
Instructions
1. Make the Crust:
Combine crushed cookies and melted butter until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan (or rectangular dish for slice-style portions). Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Mousse:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until fluffy. Gradually fold in the melted dark chocolate until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light, airy texture.
Spread the mousse evenly over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until fully set.
3. Add the Ganache:
Heat the heavy cream just until steaming, then pour it over the dark chocolate chips. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly before pouring over the cheesecake layer. Spread evenly and sprinkle with chopped chocolate chunks or curls.
Return to the refrigerator for another 30–45 minutes to firm up.
4. Slice and Serve:
Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean slices. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Tips for Success
Use good-quality chocolate — it’s the star of this dessert. Chill between layers for clean, distinct textures. For a lighter mousse, whip the cream to soft peaks, not stiff ones.
Serving Ideas
Top with a dollop of whipped cream, drizzle of caramel, or a sprinkle of sea salt. It’s perfect for dinner parties, Valentine’s Day, or anytime you crave an elegant, no-bake chocolate dessert.
