There are a few things that you can do to make sure your cheesecake is both.<\/p>\n<p>First, give the cream cheese some time to reach room temperature before you beat it with the sugar and butter. Skip the reduced fat cream cheeses, too\u2014save those for another time when the recipe isn&#8217;t as cream-cheese centric.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, beat the mixture for long enough to make sure there are no lumps before you pour the batter into the crust.<\/p>\n<h3>How should you store no-bake chocolate cheesecake?<\/h3>\n<p>Store no-bake chocolate cheesecake in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. It can also be wrapped, placed in a freezer-safe container or bag, and stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Before eating, thaw in the refrigerator overnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This no-bake chocolate cheesecake recipe is just as rich and decadent as regular
