CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE DELIGHT
This raspberry cheesecake delight dessert is so delicious and it's so pretty. Don't you just love pretty food? Three layers of deliciousness and topped off with an easy raspberry pie filling.
In my normal life (aka- not my food blogging life) I don't make several desserts every week. I try and feed my kids good & healthy food, and *try* to limit the sweets and sugar.
Which is why I'm not sure what has gotten into me lately with all these no-bake dessert recipes. It must be the spring air and the thought that summer is just around the corner.
This no bake black forest cheesecake pie, this lemon pie and this family favorite Oreo pie are some of my more recent no bake desserts.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR RASPBERRY CHEESECAKE DESSERT
- For the crust you will need some chocolate graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter. I always use salted butter because it has the best taste. Crush up the crackers into fine crumbs, it's easiest to do this in a food processor OR use a Ziploc bag and pound it, and then combine those crumbs with melted butter and sugar.
- For the middle cheesecake layer, you will need cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and powdered sugar. If you really don't want to whip your own cream, you can substitute it with one 8 oz tub of Cool Whip. I highly recommend following the recipe and whipping your own 🙂
- The topping is simply a can of raspberry pie filling.
MY TIPS FOR THIS RECIPE
- If you're not a fan of raspberries then go ahead and use any canned pie filling. Just make sure it's the same sized can as the one called for in the recipe. We love it with raspberry so I have never tried another flavor, but I think it would work out great.
- There are lots of graham cracker choices out there. I have seen vanilla, cinnamon, and then the regular graham crackers too. Get creative and use different crackers if wanted.
- I topped mine with some freshly whipped cream and then I also crumbled up some chocolate graham crackers to sprinkle on top of the whipped cream. This dessert does not need a topping (it's amazing as is) but if you want to add some, then go ahead. To make it easy you could also use the spray can of whipped cream, or use some fresh raspberries for topping.
- Plan ahead to make sure that you get that minimum fridge time of 8 hours. I always make it the day before and leave it in the fridge overnight. Because this dessert chills in the fridge for so long, the layers get nice and thick, which makes it much easier to cut when it comes time.
