Terrrazzo Cheesecake Cake

Print Recipe

A striking no-bake cheesecake studded with colorful chocolate pieces to mimic a terrazzo mosaic pattern.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (150 g)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (67 g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (85 g), melted
  • 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 1 cup assorted colored chocolate or candy pieces, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill 30 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; continue beating until creamy and lump-free.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  4. Fold whipped cream gently into the cream cheese mixture until uniform.
  5. Stir in ¾ cup of the chopped colored chocolate pieces, reserving the rest for garnish.
  6. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate pieces evenly over the surface, gently pressing them into the filling.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
  9. Run a knife around the edge before releasing the springform. Slice into 12 pieces and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • For brighter colors, melt white chocolate, tint with gel food coloring, pour into a sheet pan, let set, then chop.
  • Substitute Oreo crumbs for graham crackers to make a chocolate crust.
  • Chilling overnight yields the cleanest slices and firmest texture.
