    This no bake chocolate cherry cheesecake is one of the many 20% indulgencies you can enjoy when following the 80/20 eating rule!

    Here on Neil's Healthy Meals I write about living the 80/20 way (check out exactly what that is in this 80/20 rule for eating post).

    So I warn you, this is wickedly indulgent. But, I make no excuses for it! (Read that 80/20 rule for eating post!)

    With a base layer of biscuit crumbs melted in butter topped with a double layer of cream cheese, melted chocolate chocolate chips and sweet cherry conserve, what else do I need to say?

    This is the perfect cheesecake in a glass recipe!

    Most Sunday’s I love to prepare a pudding to enjoy after our traditional Sunday curry.

    It’s usually something we’ve both been looking forward to all week with much anticipation!

    So, when I’m particularly short on time, perhaps through being busy photographing new recipes or writing up these posts, I'll still want to make a delicious pudding, but one that saves on time.

    And this no bake chocolate cherry cheesecake is ideal for those situations.

    Its so incredibly simple but still delicious!

    Equipment

    • Saucepans
    • Kitchen scale
    • Measuring jug
    • Measuring spoons
    • Whisk
    • Wooden spoon
    • Food processor
    • Stand mixer

    Ingredients

    • 60 g light / reduced fat digestive biscuits graham crackers
    • 25 g unsalted butter
    • 35 g dark chocolate chips
    • 150 g low fat cherry conserve / jam
    • 200 g low fat cream cheese
    • 100 ml low fat double cream
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • Glace cherries to decorate
    Metric - US Customary

    Instructions

    • Blitz the biscuits to a bread crumb consistency either in a food processor or place in a bag and bash with a rolling pin.
    • Melt the butter in a small saucepan then add the biscuit crumbs and mix together.
    • Divide the melted butter biscuit mixture between two glasses and press down on the mixture (I used the bottom of another glass to do this). Then pop into the fridge for at least 30 minutes whilst you make the rest of the cheesecake.
    • Melt the dark chocolate chips and the cherry jam together in a small saucepan and set aside to cool down to room temperature.
    • Either by hand or using a stand mixer, whisk the cream cheese, double cream and lemon juice together until relatively stiff.
    • Take half of the cream cheese mixture and divide between the two glasses, top with half of the chocolate cherry jam mixture, then repeat with the remainder of the cream cheese mixture and chocolate cherry jam mixture.
    • Place in the fridge for approximately 2 to 3 hours, whilst you do other things!
    • Top with glace cherries and serve.

      WOW! Neil, this sounds so decadently delicious - or wickedly delicious like you like to say 🙂 And added points that it doesn't involve any baking! I haven't had "Cornish cream tea" - I'm wondering if it is anything like the cups of tea and condensed milk that was so popular as a treat back home in Sri Lanka? Either way, I'm super impressed you didn't have any desserts whilst on holiday! Heading over to check out your Cornwall post now - hope you and Lady Lynne are blessed with wonderful weather on y'alls hike!

        I've never make a dessert in a glass that I've really been totally happy with until now Shashi!

        I'm really proud of this dessert. It's absolutely amazing. Who would have known how well chocolate and cherry jam melted together go? 😉

        Thanks as always for your kind comments. 🙂
