No Bake Chocolate Cheese Cake
There was a time I did not have an oven, but I wanted to make cakes, so I had found a recipe to make a really tasty chocolate cheesecake! The ingredients are not too difficult to find and the cheesecake is homemade. This recipe is in 2 for parts, first the homemade cream cheese. I was fascinated when I got to know that we can make cream cheese at home! Very easily using paneer. Store bought cream cheese is extremely costly! The cake takes only 15 minutes to prepare. Having a food processor is ideal but a mixture can work.

Instructions
Steps to make No Bake Chocolate Cheesecake
- Take 2 packs of iD paneer, cut them into pieces, this is the softest paneer
- Add them in a food processor jar
- Next, add 1 cup of thick curds, I have used homemade curds, I’m in Hyderabad, the curd really does set thick here,
- Next add ½ cup Amul whipping cream
- Put the cut paneer, then add the curds and after that the whipping cream
- Next take a larger bowl and add a smaller bowl in the middle, put a strainer above and cheese cloth on top,
- Strain the mixture from the food processor jar and store it in the fridge overnight any excess water will release by the morning
- Next, you need to pulse 200 grams of digestive biscuit and 1/4 cup melted butter in a food processor jar, this form the base of the cream cheese cake
- Mix the mixture in a bowl thoroughly,
- Transfer to a 7 inch springform pan, flatten using a bowl and spread the base evenly
- Store in the fridge until you’ve prepared the rest of the ingredients
- In a microwave melt 240 grams of chocolate in a microwave, add 2 tablespoons of butter to this if it doesn’t melt easily. Try buying a good brand of chocolate.
- In a deep bowl add 400grams of cream cheese and add 1 cup to sifted icing sugar and fold it in
- Add 1/2 a teaspoon Ossoro vanilla essence
- While the chocolate is cooling down
- Add 1/2 cup of chilled whipping cream into a food processor and blitz it
- Add whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and fold it in
- Next add the melted chocolate and mix all the ingredients well, by whipping it using a rubber spatula
- Continue mixing the chocolate in, until it is mixed completely
- Take the set base out of the fridge and pour the chocolate cream cheese mixture
- Let it set in a fridge for a minimum of 5 hours, you can put it in a freezer as well
- Next we need to prepare the chocolate ganache.
- In a microwave oven, heat 1/3 cup cream
- In a mug add 80 grams of chocolate,
- Pour the hot cream into the mug with chocolate, let it sit for a minute
- Stir the cream and chocolate mixture, until all the chocolate is melted
- Let it cool for 10 minutes and pour it over the cream cheese mixture
- The cake takes around 1-2 hours to set in a fridge, give it that much of time
- I was in a hurry, so I cut it in advance
- The cake is now ready to serve!
