Red Velvet Cheesecake!! A no-bake showstopper where the bold, striking colour of Red Velvet Cake meets the creamy decadence of cheesecake. The filling is beautifully chocolatey, rich-yet-light, with that signature velvety texture. Make this when you have people to impress – it’s special!
This is a cheesecake that has an Oreo base and an attention-seeking red velvet coloured cheesecake filling with a gorgeous chocolatey flavour.
It tastes luxurious but it’s not overly rich because there’s only 3/4 cup of sugar and the filling is light-but-luscious, the type that cuts neatly into slices but melts into a river of creamy goodness in your mouth.
