    No-bake triple chocolate cheesecake with mascarpone

    It's enough to say chocolate, and you've made someone's day. Chocolate shouldn't been seen as a guilty pleasure, but just sheer pleasure, why guilty? I mean, imagine this world without chocolate, how terrible would that be?! So, for you, my chocoholics, l have the finest dessert to indulge in, triple chocolate cheesecake. Yes, that's right, triple chocolate: you've got milk, dark and white chocolate, all in one heavenly dessert.

    And since chocolate is seen as an aphrodisiac, it makes perfect sense to surprise your loved one with a delightfully scrumptious Triple Chocolate Mascarpone Cheesecake. You'll also love the fact that no baking is required at all.

    Who has time for baking? We've got way more important things to do to get ready for Valentine's Day: manicure, pedicure, hairstyle, hunting for that wow dress, etc. Being a woman is tough!!!

    Can you use mascarpone in a cheesecake?

    Absolutely! It's the perfect replacement for soft cream cheese, it's richer, denser, and a lot creamier, which makes it ideal for a silky cheesecake recipe.

    I have made cheesecake before, but used soft cheese instead of mascarpone. And while that was delicious too, l find that mascarpone can never be beaten.

    It's entirely up to you, you could also use half mascarpone, half soft cheese. Just make sure it stays in the fridge overnight, so that it sets beautifully.

    How to make cheesecake with mascarpone

    Like any good old cheesecake, the base is usually made of crushed biscuits (crackers) mixed with butter and any vanilla or rum essence you prefer. Once the biscuit base has settled in the fridge, make the mascarpone filling.

    The first layer is the milk chocolate and mascarpone one. The chocoalte is melted, then the mascarpone is added to make a silky cream. For the second layer, I opted for double cream. It's more like a glaze, rather than filling in itself, then the third chocolate, the white one, is just sprinkled over to give it the final touch.

    Oh, ONE TIP HERE, having a cake tin with a loose base or detachable sides helps a lot, the cake will come out so much easier. I did not use perchament paper to cover the sides of my tin, since it's a non-stick one, but feel free to use some if needed.

    Now, if you excuse me, l'm going for another slice of cake, l deserve it, damn right l do! For more cheesecake heaven, how about some delighfully silky Coconut Cheesecake?

        Hi Brenda! Thank you for your comments!
        I had to do a bit of research, as l am afraid in Europe we use grams and mililiters, and cup is standard of 250 g and l find it a bit tricky to convert in other units.
        I'll list below all the ingrediends in american cups, l hope l'm doing it right.
        The equivalent of digestive biscuits would be graham crackers, 200 g would be 1 cup
        60 g butter - 1/4 cup
        500 g mascarpone cheese- 2 cups
        300 g milk chocolate- 1 1/2 cups
        50 g white chocolate - 1/4 cup
        200 ml dark chocolate - 1 cup
        300 ml cream - 1 1/2 cups
        1 tsp vanilla extract
        1 tbsp cocoa powder

        Hi Ivette, thank you for your comment! Sorry, I seem to have omitted to add the vanilla extract to the instructions. It can be added to the crushed biscuits together with the cocoa powder and melted butter. I hope you will like the cheesecake, it's a favourite with us. Please do let me know how it turns out.

      Hi, please can you confirm that your tin is 16cm diameter.
      Our tin is 23cm so I'm looking at multiplying the ingredients accordingly.
