Description
A decadent no-bake cheesecake layered with a buttery shortbread crust, velvety cream cheese filling, luscious caramel, and shiny chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups shortbread cookies
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup chocolate ganache
Instructions
- Make the crust: Crush shortbread cookies and mix with melted butter, then press into a 9-inch pie pan and chill for 15 minutes.
- Beat the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Whip the heavy cream in another bowl until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread the cheesecake filling over the crust, drizzle with caramel sauce, and slather on the chocolate ganache.

Notes
Use a mix of dark and milk chocolate for the ganache for balanced flavor. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
