Crustless Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Recipe 435

CRUSTLESS CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 280°F | 140°C. Pour boiling water halfway up the sides of a large, deep baking dish and arrange dish on the lowest rack in the oven (this helps keep the moisture in the oven and prevent the cheesecake from developing deep cracks and drying out). Grease and line an 8-inch round springform cake tin. Set aside. Combine the cream cheese, yogurt and sweetener (or sugar) in a bowl. Beat on low speed until smooth and combined. Fold the cocoa powder through until incorporated into the cream cheese mixture. Add in the eggs and beat again until smooth, for about 1 minute. Add 3/4 cup of the raspberries and one third of the chocolate chips, and gently fold them through. Pour into prepared cake tin; top with the remaining chocolate chips and bake for 40 to 50 minutes on the middle rack in your oven, until just set in the centre (it will still have a little wobble in the centre). Turn oven off and leave the cheesecake inside, with the oven door slightly ajar, to cool slowly for about 1 hour. Once cooled, place on a wire rack to cool completely before covering and placing in the refrigerator to chill for 5 to 6 hours or overnight. When ready to serve, top with the remaining fresh raspberries and drizzle with melted chocolate (optional).

NO-BAKE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing a couple of inches of overhang on the longer side. This will help remove the cheesecake once set.
• Combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl. Mix well and add to the bottom of the lined pan. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan, then set aside.
• For the filling: Add the cream cheese, yogurt, powdered sugar and vanilla to a blender, then blend until smooth. Add to a bowl and completely fold in the whipped topping. Pour over the top of the prepared crust and smooth. Add spoonfuls of the preserves to the top and, using a skewer or knife, swirl the preserves. Grid the top with fresh raspberries. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, 3 hours.
• Remove and slice into squares to serve. The cheesecake pieces can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
