No-Bake Midnight Mocha Cheesecakes

No-Bake Midnight Mocha Cheesecakes - These festive, no-bake cheesecakes with a hint of coffee liqueur are sure to add a little sparkle to your celebrations! | ButtercreamBlondie.com

Cheesecake? Check. Chocolate? Check. Boozy? Check.  A party waiting to happen? Check!  I think that just about covers it, you?  These no-bake midnight mocha cheesecakes are everything you could want in a dessert without any of the work, and a must for your New Year’s celebrations!

These festive little cheesecakes are the final dessert of the year (how did that happen?) as well as the final dessert in the Pure Holiday campaign, which means they need to be extra fabulous!  You guys know I’m serious about my cheesecake and these parfaits deliver.  There’s a chocolate cookie crust topped with a smooth layer of chocolate ganache hidden under a cloud of silky mocha cheesecake with a hint of coffee flavored liqueur.  It’s one of those things you’d like to talk about, but you’ll be way too busy grabbing yourself a spoon!

And just in case that’s not enough, we have the final giveaway of the year so if Santa didn’t bring you everything you wanted, you’re in luck!  We’re giving away the new Farberware Purecook ceramic nonstick 12-piece cookware set in the color of your choice to one lucky reader!  Talk about a sweet update for the new year!  But first, more about this cheesecake situation!

The cheesecake filling alone hits all the right notes.  The espresso powder lends a rich coffee flavor and light brown sugar and cinnamon add an incredible warmth to it.  Adding to this love story is the Kahlua, which just kind of floats and completely seals the deal.  Combined with the crunch from the chocolate cookie crust and the smooth chocolate ganache, you’ll be hooked!

The other thing I love about these gems, aside from how easy they make life, is how you can customize them.  Use parfait glasses, wine glasses, or use large shot glasses to make festive cheesecake shooters if you’re hosting a party!  And while they’re great for parties, they’re equally great for a quiet night in, watching all the New Year’s buzz from the calm and quiet of your couch surrounded by friends! That’s where I’ll be!

    I love your blueberry recipes. Have to make the blueberry oatmeal cream pies for friends and family time and time again. Thankfully blueberries are always available. I adore the coffee recipes too.

    Was thinking about the about 50binders I have of recipes, (only since last March, do not ask how many cookbooks, YIKES!). ANYWAY, find that I lack in the fruit pie category, and salads of any kind. Same old recipes for pasta salad,fruit salads, even jello salads, keep showing up. Thanks for the giveaway and Have a Very Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!!

    In 2016, the dessert that I would like to see on Buttercream Blondie is some sort of Blondies recipe (something with macadamia nuts, caramel, white chocolate… yum!).
