PIN IT FOR LATER Friends, I am so excited to share this with you! This incredible no bake cheesecake is from my friend Julianne’s new cookbook No Bake Treats! I know you know I have big, BIG love for no bake cheesecakes and just cheesecake in general. Some of my other favorites here are: No Bake White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Real Deal No Bake Lemon Cheesecake And this The Best Vanilla Cheesecake — no water bath required! This No Bake Peanut Butter Marshmallow Square Cheesecake went absolutely nuts around Easter — it’s a little over the top, but if you love the classic marshmallow squares you’re in for a real treat! I couldn’t resist adding another to my collection from Julianne’s book. She is the no bake dessert queen and shares her delicious treats on her site Beyond Frosting. If you’ve never heard of her, you need to check her out (link above!) — some seriously amazing desserts! I can’t say that adding brownie mix to a cheesecake would have ever crossed my mind, but I’m glad it crossed Julianne’s because the flavor in this cheesecake is incredible! It’s so rich and chocolatey without being as heavy as a baked cheesecake. This cheesecake is for true chocolate lovers only though! If you’re not one who is prone to lick that brownie batter spatula, then this might not be the cheesecake for you 😉 Now you need to know, this cheesecake is one for sharing! I would definitely recommend making it when you have a few friends to share with (or, hey — slice it up and freeze individually for when the craving hits!). It’s quite sweet and soooo chocolatey, but it is truly the ultimate cheesecake for chocolate lovers. Not that I know any of those 😉 Some people have asked about using regular cake mix instead of brownie mix. I haven’t tried it, but I don’t think you would get quite the same intense chocolate flavor. If that’s okay with you, then give it a try! I will also add that for the recipe, one box of brownie mix should be just right.
Tips for Making this No Bake Brownie Batter Cheesecake:
You’re going to want a really great Springform pan if you don’t already have one — cheap ones can start to leak and that’s not something you want! I’ve included the recipe as it is in the cookbook, but I couldn’t get my hands on any whipping cream before I made it (I tried!) so I substituted 1% milk and it worked just fine!

Is it safe to eat raw brownie mix?
It is not recommended to consume raw flour, although I’m going to leave that choice up to you to make. I’ve eaten my share of this Brownie Batter Cheesecake, and I’m still holding up 😉 If you are concerned about the fact that the brownie mix contains raw flour, feel free to heat treat your brownie mix. Some people do this in the oven, be spreading it on a pan and baking it, and I’ve seen others simply microwave the dry brownie mix for a couple of minutes on high. If it’s a concern for you, feel free to investigate further and make the best choice for you. Otherwise, you may want to make one of the no-bake cheesecakes listed above or this Chocolate Cheesecake.
