The Creation Process
Now, let’s break down the process of making this Hot Fudge Sundae No-Bake Cheesecake into simple steps:

I’ll begin by baking the brownie crust. I can either whip up a batch of brownies using my favorite box of brownie mix or opt for convenience using pre-made brownies. This step is the only one that involves baking in the entire recipe.
2. Create the Cheesecake Filling
For the creamy cheesecake filling, I’ll blend cream cheese, whipped cream, and a touch of vanilla extract. This filling will serve as the luscious base for all the sundae toppings.
3. Assemble the Sundae Cheesecake
Now, it’s time to get creative. I’ll spread the cheesecake filling over the brownie crust, ensuring it’s smooth and even. I’ll top the filling with hot fudge sauce, a generous sprinkle of chopped nuts, a dollop of whipped cream, and garnish with maraschino cherries.
4. Chill and Serve
I’ll pop my creation into the refrigerator to chill and set. Once it’s firm, I’m ready to enjoy the heavenly combination of a cheesecake and a Hot Fudge Sundae.
