● 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
● 1½ cups Heavy Whipping cream

No-Bake Rocky Road Cheesecake Mise en Place:
● 9″ Springform Pan
● Parchment Paperr
● Rubber Spatula
● Food Processor
● Measuring Cup
● Stand-up Mixer (paddle attachment, whisk attachment, large bowl, etc.) or Hand Mixer (electric mixer)
● Medium Mixing Bowl
● Small Microwave Safe Bowl
No-Bake Rocky Road Cheesecake Recipe Directions:
1. Line the bottom of a 9” springform pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture reaches the consistency of wet sand.
3. Press the Oreo cookie mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan.
4. Place the springform pan in the fridge to chill while you make the filling.
5. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside 1½ tablespoons for drizzling the top and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
6. In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together until it is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
7. Add the melted chocolate and beat until the chocolate is fully incorporated and smooth.
8. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
9. Add half of the whipped cream to the cream cheese bowl and fold in gently using a rubber spatula. Repeat this step with the remaining half.
10. Add the mini marshmallows and walnuts and fold them through the batter.
11. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
12. Once the cheesecake has chilled completely, remove it from the pan onto a serving plate. It should remove easily, but you may have to run a knife around the outside of the cake to keep it from sticking.
13. Add some extra marshmallows, walnuts, and a drizzle of melted chocolate (from the milk chocolate you set aside) to the top of the cheesecake.
14. Serve chilled.
15. Store leftovers in an airtight container or well covered in the fridge for up to four (4) days.
