This No Bake Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake is SO easy and delicious. Made with melted chocolate and cream cheese on a biscuit base. This recipe is your must make dessert. (Includes video to show you how!)
Are you feeling festive yet?
I’ve already planned our Christmas tree buying day so basically, that means that the season is here right?
As I said last week, I can’t believe I’ve never shared a Christmas cheesecake recipe before. So, I’ve come up with three this year (making up for lost time). My first one, the Chocolate Orange Cheesecake recipe I posted last week, has gone down so well, especially the video on Facebook.
I’m so pleased, I can’t wait to see people making it on Christmas Day hopefully. What an honour to be a tiny part of the Christmas celebrations!
This recipe is based on this really simple No Bake Cheesecake recipe of mine (which has proved very popular – 2 million blog views and counting!)
How do you make a Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake?
To make the No Bake Ferrero Rocher cheesecake, you make a simple biscuit base with crushed digestives and then top with deliciously light and creamy filling. Whipped double cream, icing sugar and cream cheese with melted chocolate. Mixed in chopped Ferrero Rocher, put it all together and leave to set.
When the cheesecake is set, drizzle over dark chocolate, more cream and Ferraro Rocher. So easy and delicious.
How long do you need to chill a No Bake Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake for?
A No Bake Cheesecake needs to be chilled in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
What is the best tin to make a No Bake Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake in?
This recipe is for a 7″ tin which is also DEEP (not a standard sandwich cake tin, it will overflow.)
You can use smaller or larger tin or a different shape, but your cheesecake will obviously be taller or shorter. I would DEFINITELY recommend this tin though as it is a great size and very easy to use.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS NO BAKE Ferraro Rocher CHEESECAKE RECIPE:
- The consistency of this no bake cheesecake should be sliceable but not solid. Something like room temperature butter, it will give a little quiver if you wobble it gently.
- When whipping the double cream, be sure to watch it very carefully. It should be just forming soft floppy peaks, but still hold it’s shape. Too runny and the no bake cheesecake will be sloppy, too stiff and it will be too dense.
- Do sift the icing sugar, it will give a much smoother texture to the cheesecake. Don’t ignore this as I normally do!
- The recipe is for a 7″ tin which is also DEEP (not a standard sandwich cake tin, it will overflow! See the link below for the type of tin I use). You can use smaller or larger but your cheesecake will obviously be taller or shorter. I would DEFINITELY recommend this tin though as it is a great size and very easy to use.
- Ferraro Rocher Cheesecake too runny and won’t set? It’s probably because your cream wasn’t whipped quite enough. No problem, pop it into the freezer for a few hours before serving.

So delicious. I used the cheesecake as a filling between chocolate cake layers and people loved it. Thank you for sharing 🙂

Becci says
Hi, what do I do with the 300g of melted chocolate?
Cheers

Hi Becci,
You just need to add the 2/3 of the milk chocolate during step like below:
Meanwhile beat the 500ml of double cream until stiff and mix with the cream cheese, icing sugar, melted chocolate and crushed Ferrero Rocher and last add the 200ml(about) of melted milk chocolate and whisk it together for about 1-2 minutes.
Andrea Senior says
Hey I’m going to make this next week 🙂 How long will it keep in the fridge?
Sarah says
Is this cheesecake quite firm. Most cheesecakes I make use gelatin, I made one without it once and it ended up a gloopy mess
Delwyn Wilkinson says
Living in a warmer climate I also have problems with cheesecakes without gelatine. They just melt.
I’ve just made this recipe into two small cheese cakes. One for my hubby and one for my son for Fathers Day. That’s what COVID does.
I added two teaspoons of gelatine mixed in two tablespoons of water microwaved on high 15 secs, cooled and then added to the mix.
The mixer is so delicious I even licked the beaters.
I can’t wait for tomorrow.

Hey there! I really wanna try this recipe, but my area does not sell double cream. Any recommendations for substituting the double cream?

What milk chocolate did you use?
Sarah Barnes says
I use a brand called Callebaut. Here’s a link: https://amzn.to/3nn9XXk it’s amazing!
Mary says
Do you think, Nutella will work the same, if I use it instead of melted chocolate?
Sarah Barnes says
No, it won’t set in the same way sorry!
Cheryl says
My daughter made this for Xmas Day and it was Devine, everybody loved it and went back for seconds
Kelly F says
The cheesecake was amazing – but i couldn’t get it out of the tin suggested above in one piece. Do you have tips?
Ruth says
My 1st attempt at ferrero rocher recipe of yours Sarah, wow what a success & delicious dessert , thankyou
SJ says
I want to make this for Christmas and take it to my sister’s place. Will it be ok in the car for 40 minutes or will it melt?
Sarah Barnes says
I would leave it in the tin, and pop it back in the fridge for a while when you arrive, then turn it out and decorate there! Enjoy!
Jodie says
I didn’t have a deep cake tin but the cream/chocolate mix part of the recipe was enough for 2 regular tins…..double bonus or gift? You just need to make an extra biscuit base. Decadently delicious!
