Red Velvet No-Bake Cheesecake
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 c. thick cream
12 oz. Cream cheese, made soft
1/2 c. sugar
1 c. red velvet cake mix in the box
red coloring for food
1 Graham cookie crust, homemade or bought in the store
1 c. thick cream
8 oz. Semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (or chips)
Whipped cream to serve
DIRECTIONS
In the bowl of a whisk-equipped blender beat the thick cream until stiff peaks are formed. Add the cream cheese and beat until it is completely smooth.
Add the sugar, red velvet cake mix and a few drops of food coloring (the color will be pink, add until you like it).
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake crust and flatten the top with a rubber spatula. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
When you’re ready to serve, make ganache. Heat the thick cream in a small saucepan over low heat and pour over the chocolate. Let it rest for 3 minutes, then stir until creamy.
Remove the cheesecake from the fridge and sprinkle with the ganache. Serve with whipped cream.
