Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos, finely crushed)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
For the filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup hot cocoa mix (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream (plus extra for topping)
For garnish:
- Chocolate shavings
- Mini marshmallows
- Crushed chocolate cookies (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, hot cocoa mix, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Serve: Before serving, let the cheesecake sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to slightly soften. Top with additional whipped cream, chocolate shavings, mini marshmallows, or crushed cookies as desired.
Notes
- Use a high-quality hot cocoa mix for richer flavor.
- For a more intense chocolate filling, add 2 tablespoons melted semi-sweet chocolate to the cream cheese mixture.
- Store leftovers in the freezer for up to 1 week.
