NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE AMARETTO CHEESECAKE

No-Bake Chocolate Amaretto Cheesecake image

My mother gave me this recipe several years ago and I have made it many times to rave reviews. I have no idea where she got the recipe; perhaps from an Amaretto pamphlet. It has a wonderful smooth, creamy texture and is very rich and decadent; certainly not for those who are watching their waistlines. Worth every sinful bite! I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

32 amaretti di saronno cookies (I can't remember exactly what they are called, but they are chocolate-dipped rolled waffle cookies)
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (1 envelope of Knox unflavoured gelatin. If using sheet gelatin, use appropriate quantity to set 2 c)
1/2 cup Amaretto (almond liqueur)
1 cup whipping cream
6 ounces semisweet chocolate or 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate

Steps:

If you cannot find the waffle cookies already pre-dipped in chocolate, then melt 2 squares of semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate with 2 T of butter. Pour the chocolate mixture into a tall thin glass and dip the rolled waffle cookies in the chocolate. Place on a waxed paper-lined pan. Chill until set.
Beat the cream cheese and brown sugar together until smooth.
Sprinkle the gelatin over the Amaretto, in a small saucepan, and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir over low heat until the gelatine dissolves.
Blend the warm gelatin into the cheese mixture.
Beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold into the gelatin and cheese mixture. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture.
Melt the 6 squares of chocolate and let cool. Fold the chocolate into the remaining cheese mixture. Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture.
Use small dabs of the chocolate cheese mixture to aid in standing the prepared waffle cookies, dipped ends up, in a ring around the rim of a 8 1/2 inch springform pan.
Spread the remaining chocolate cheese mixture into the prepared pan. Spread reserved plain cheese mixture evenly on top. Top with dabs of the reserved 1/2 cup of the chocolate cheese mixture. Swirl with a knife to create marbled effect.
Chill for at least 4 hours.
Garnish, if desired, with chocolate curls or whole blanched almonds. Let your imagination take you away!

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was too crumbly and the filling was too dense.

This cheesecake is delicious, but it's a little too rich for me. I think I'll try making it with a reduced-fat cream cheese next time.

This cheesecake is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pull it out of the fridge when I'm ready to serve it.

This cheesecake was a little too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter and fluffier cheesecake.

I'm not a big fan of no-bake cheesecakes, but this one was actually really good. The crust was the perfect consistency and the filling was creamy and flavorful.
