I am officially obsessed with no-bake desserts and I don’t see any end in sight.  You see, I live in Arkansas and the weather here during the summer is very hot and humid.  For about three to four months out of the year, I try to avoid turning on my oven as much as possible.  Oh and I completely give up on my hair too.  I’m so jealous of those of you who live in areas with no humidity.  Sooooo jealous!<\/p>\n

In an attempt to avoid turning on the oven, Josh and I start using the grill a lot more during the summer and no-bake desserts become my best friend.  Specifically, no-bake cheesecakes.<\/p>\n

So let’s talk about this no-bake cheesecake.  The crust is an easy homemade graham cracker crust.  Just three ingredients!  You can bake the crust if you prefer, but I never bake them with my no-bake cheesecakes and they hold up just fine.<\/p>\n

On top of the graham cracker crust is a no-bake chocolate cheesecake filling.  The filling in this cheesecake is so rich, creamy, and chocolatey.   For the chocolate in the filling, I used semi-sweet chocolate chips because I always have them on hand.  See my homemade magic shell recipe<\/a> and you’ll understand why.  You’ll melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, let it cool, then add it to the cream cheese mixture.  I also used homemade whipped cream in the filling too.  It’s so good and the filling holds up really well!<\/p>\n

Then you’ll top it off with a homemade marshmallow fluff whipped cream.<\/p>\n

Just a tip, make sure to microwave the marshmallow fluff for just a few seconds and then stir it really well.  The first time I made the whipped cream, I just threw the fluff in with the cold whipped cream and it turned out lumpy.  Getting it nice and smooth in the microwave makes it much easier to add to the whipped cream and prevents any lumps!  Just don’t get it too hot, a few seconds in the microwave is all you need.<\/p>\n

I also topped it off with some crushed graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, and mini chocolate chips.  To toast the marshmallows, I had my husband use his blow torch and toast them.   Once they cooled, I just added them on top with everything else.  You could skip toasting the marshmallows and just add them on top of the cheesecake too!<\/p>\n
