This creamy no bake raspberry chocolate cheesecake starts with a buttery chocolate graham cracker crust. The luscious filling is flavored with raspberry jam and vanilla, with flecks of finely chopped dark chocolate and fresh raspberries. On top, fresh blueberries coated in more raspberry jam and sprinkled with a little edible lavender make a gorgeous and tempting presentation.

Instructions
Crust
- Preheat the oven to 325. In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and salt. Drizzle with the melted butter and toss with a fork until moistened. Press against the bottom of an 8 or 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 12 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
Filling
- Pour 1/2 cup of the heavy whipping cream into a microwave-safe dish. Add the gelatin and whisk with a fork to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes; it will be thick and clumpy. Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds to dissolve the gelatin. If any lumps of gelatin remain, you can strain them out with a small mesh strainer. Set aside until needed.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar for 2 minutes until smooth. Beat in the raspberry jam and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, and beat until the mixture is thick and fluffy.
- Beat in the warm cream/gelatin mixture until smooth and thick.
- Fold in the chopped chocolate and raspberries.
- Immediately spread the cheesecake over the cooled crust and smooth out the top. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 4-6 hours, or overnight.
Topping
- To serve, carefully remove the sides of the pan by running a sharp knife around the sides to loosen the cheesecake, then unlock the pan.
- Toss the remaining 1/2 cup raspberry jam with the blueberries until they are coated with jam; pile on top of the cheesecake, letting the jam drip over the sides. Sprinkle with lavender, if desired.

How sweet this post and both your words!!
What a beautiful cheesecake!
Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful cake!
This Cheesecake is not only stunningly beautiful, it also sounds delicious! Definitely making this for my mother, despite Mother's day having already passed. I know she will love it… of couse I will be devouring it with her! Cheers and thanks for sharing! ♡
Cheyanne, thank you so much! I'm sure you'll both love it. 🙂
Wow what a gorgeous cheesecake! Love the use of lavender 🙂
what a beautiful and amazing cheescake!!!
Love your post!
Thank you, Gloria, that's very sweet.
Beautiful, it also sounds delicious.
I am going to make this for a dinner on a Saturday and need to drive about two hours with it. I was planning on making it Thursday night, chilling it over night, leaving it in the pan, driving with it on Friday in a chilled cooler, and then taking it out of the pan on Saturday and finishing it with the berries and jam. Do you think it will be a problem to leave it in the pan for two nights? I’m planning on keeping it cold. I live in Vail so hopefully this won’t have any high altitude issues. I love all your recipes! Thanks!
Ali, your plan is a good one, and the altitude won’t be a problem since this is a no-bake cheesecake. The only thing I can think of is that the filling can start to soften the crust after a couple of days, but even if the crust isn’t as crisp as it is on the first day, it’s still delicious.
This turned out amazing. Rave reviews from friends at a bachelorette party. Thanks so much!
