I’m deeming this the summer of no-bake desserts and this layered no bake cheesecake is definitely a favorite. It’s so smooth, light, and creamy! My husband was extremely impressed with how light and fluffy this layered no bake cheesecake is. That can be potentially dangerous though — you may want to eat the whole thing. Haha.

It reminds me a lot of an Edward’s Hershey Pie, but it’s obviously fresher and so easy to make! You use a store-bought crust, then make one batch of no bake cheesecake, split it in half and add a few more ingredients for the chocolate layer.

Then you whip up some sweetened whipped cream and shave some chocolate over the top for decoration. Voila! Dessert perfection! Refrigerate for a few hours for clean slices. I may have been a little impatient in wanting to photograph this one. It sets even better than pictured.
