Ingredients

• To make this a true no-bake recipe buy a premade brownie from your local bakery or grocery store and cut to fit pan that is used in the directions below.
• OR
• 1 brownie recipe or 1 boxed brownie mix
• 1 1/2 cups 60% cocoa chocolate chips
• 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
• 2 cups frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
• ¾ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 recipe for 10-minute Hot Fudge Sauce
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• ¼ cup butter
• ¼ cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

• Prepare an 8-inch springform pan, otherwise known as a cheesecake pan by spraying with cooking oil. Make brownies according to package directions. If using my homemade brownie recipe, click here for recipe directions and bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove brownies from oven and let them completely cool.
• Once brownies are completely cool make the no-bake cheesecake. In a small bow add chocolate chips and heat in microwave for 1-minute. Stir, and then heat in 30 second intervals stirring in between until chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Set aside to cool.
• Beat together cream cheese, sugar and butter in large bowl on medium speed until smooth and creamy. I used my KitchenAid mixer for this. Slowly add in cooled melted chocolate chips, stirring until well blended. Then fold in whipped topping until blended, I get a little inpatient and usually start to beat it.
• Add in mini chocolate chips and stir until incorporated. Spread on top of cooled brownies.
• Place in the refrigerator until firm and set 30-60 minutes.
• When ready to serve make fudge sauce. To get full directions click here.
• Cut the cheesecake into slices and serve, drizzle with hot fudge sauce.
• You need this in your life, take a bite and enjoy! Chocolate is the best way to celebrate!
