NO BAKE CHEESECAKE 

first, I crushed the chocolate wafer, i used the wafers as the base layer or crust, i didn't use butter because it was already sticky enough. although, i suggest adding 1/4 stick of melted butter to keep the crumbs together.

next the cream cheese mixture, i only added cream cheese, powdered sugar and cocoa. i wanted the mixture to be on the thicker side, so if you don't like it to be that thick, you can adjust the mixture by adding 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream.

i then added some white chocolate chips that i melted with heavy whipping cream as the top layer. the cream cheese mixture is not that sweet, so adding the white chocolate would add a little more sweetness to the cake.

i then refrigerate the cake overnight. and the next morning, you can add any other toppings you like, this process is mostly really to decorate the cake, you don't have to do anything anymore. you can serve the cake as it is. but because I wanted for the cake to look a little presentable, I whipped a cup of whipping cream and covered the cake with it.

to get a little nice slice of the cake, you can emerge the knife into hot water first before cutting the cake.

the pan that i use for this cake is the 8" spring form pan.

i hope you enjoy this cake as much as i do. let me know if you ended up making this cake, and what you will change? what is the level of sweetness you prefer? my family absolutely enjoyed the cake.
