No-Bake Red Velvet Cheesecake is a stunning and creamy dessert with a chocolatey red velvet filling set in a chocolate cookie crust. This easy, no-oven treat is perfect for holidays, parties, or any time you want an elegant dessert without the fuss.

Ingredients

  • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), crushed
  • 5 tbsp melted butter
  • 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Red gel food coloring (to desired shade)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, white chocolate shavings, crushed cookies

Instructions

  1. Crush cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix with melted butter until evenly combined.
  2. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and red food coloring. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  7. Pour the mixture over the crust and smooth the top. Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight until set.
  8. Top with optional garnishes before serving. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for the most vibrant red color.
  • Whipping the cream properly ensures the cheesecake sets well.
  • Store-bought whipped topping can be used instead of homemade whipped cream.
  • To make mini cheesecakes, divide the crust and filling into a muffin tin with liners.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead for convenience.
