Ok, well, there was a little bit of baking that went on to create this Raspberry Cheesecake-Chocolate No-Bake Pie. I opted to crank the oven for a few to make a homemade Chocolate Tart Dough crust, because even though there is a layer of dark ganache hiding inside this tart, more is more if chocolate is involved. Dorie goes with strawberries as the fruit component in her tart, but I found some black raspberries at the market and couldn’t resist swapping them here (also, I am not the biggest fruit and chocolate fan, but razzies I can do). I didn’t have quite enough to also use them as the second surprise layer hiding beneath the filling, so I just spread raspberry jam on top of the ganache and saved my black raspberries to tumble on top of the finished tart.

I am often suspicious of no-bake cheesecakes, because sometimes “no-bake” means the filling is set with gelatin, which I don’t like. This one thankfully skips that, and is kind of mousse-like, with whipped cream and melted white chocolate folded into cream cheese and sour cream. It is really a very sophisticated and lighter cheesecake for Summer 2023.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan yet, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays! Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!

Wow black raspberries, I have never seen one before. Your chocolate crust looks divine. A beautiful and I bet delicious dessert.

As usual yours is STUNNING! Love the black raspberry/ chocolate combo!! And yes, this filling (an iteration of it) is one I use a lot and it does hold together well!

“More is more when chocolate is involved”…couldnt agree more!! I knew we saw things similarly hahaha! I am intrigued with the black raspberries…never have seen or heard of them. They look like blackberries to me! I would be surprised with our love of chocolate if you don’t like chocolate covered strawberries…one of my favorites!

- they are little and super delicate…smaller in size than most blackberries are…and i only see them a couple of weeks a summer, so i grab them while i can.

You nail a sophisticated look for a no-bake cheesecake. The black raspberries take the crown, literally. Great job!
