Layered No Bake Cheesecake
This no bake cheesecake has two layers of light and smooth cheesecake — creamy vanilla and decadent chocolate, layered inside a chocolate cookie crust, and topped with sweetened whipped cream and chocolate shavings. It’s an easy and delicious summer dessert!
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.

Instructions
- In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla. Beat again. Add the whipped topping and mix until combined.
