Jello No Bake Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars
Chocolate chip cheesecake bars are indulgent but like many jello recipes, easy to create. These cheesecake bars include the flavors of pecans, chocolate, milk, sugar and a cheesecake mix. You can cut these cheesecake bars to whatever size you like but make sure the cheesecake thaws for ten minutes so you can slice it more easily.
This no bake cheesecake recipe makes a nice sweet treat after dinner and is also great served with a cup of coffee as a snack. To toast the nuts, coat them in melted butter and bake on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees F, tossing them a couple of times, for 10 or 15 minutes. You can use walnuts or peanuts if you prefer, for a different flavor.
These delicious jello no bake chocolate cheesecake bars need to be frozen for several hours but it is best to freeze them overnight if you can, so you can resist the temptation to eat them too early!
Nut and Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients -
1 jello no bake cheesecake mix
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons melted butter
½ cup toasted pecans
1 square melted semisweet baking chocolate or 1 ½ oz melted semisweet chocolate chips
1 ½ cups cold milk
Preparation:
Line an 8 inch square pan with aluminum foil, extending it over the edges to make handles.
Combine the sugar, butter, and crust mix with a fork, and then press the mixture on to the bottom of the foil-lined pan.
Beat the filling mix and milk for three minutes on a medium speed, and then spread half this filling over the cheesecake crust.
Stir the melted chocolate into the remaining filling and spread this over the mixture in the pan.
Sprinkle the nuts on top, then freeze overnight or for at least 4 hours.
Lift the cheesecake from the pan using the aluminum foil handles and take the foil off. Let it stand for 10 minutes at room temperature so you can slice it easily.
Keep leftover chocolate chip cheesecake bars in the freezer.
