How To Make no bake chocolate cheesecake with chocolate and almond crust

Beat cream cheese and sugar until mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in melted chocolate until blended. Beat in whipped cream and liqueur. Pour mixture into prepared crust and refrigerate until firm. Decorate top with dollops of whipped cream and finely grated chocolate. Serves 10 Note: Can be made a day ahead and stored in refrigerator. Decorate with whipped cream on the day you are planning to serve this. Top can be decorated with chocolate leaves, dusted with sifted powdered sugar, to resemble snow. This is a nice, easy dessert that serves quite glamorously and would be just grand for a formal dinner. Serve it informally any time. Who doesn't love chocolate cheesecake? Source: Renny Darling
