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 bake 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 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. This is really a very sophisticated and lighter cheesecake for Summer 2022.
