How to make no-bake chocolate cheesecake?
Spray an 8-inch springform pan with cooking oil. Bake brownies as directed on package, cool completely, then prepare the no-bake cheesecake.
Microwave chocolate chips for 1 minute, then in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and butter until creamy.
Stir in cooled melted chocolate, then gently fold in Cool Whip. Mix in mini chocolate chips and spread over cooled brownies.
Place in the refrigerator until firm and set for 1-2 hours.
Garnish the cheesecake with drizzles of hot fudge sauce before slicing and serving.
The most significant difference is the variation in texture. Baked cheesecake is usually more dense and velvety, while no-bake cheesecakes are typically lighter and airier.
Additionally, convenience plays a big role. No-bake cheesecakes are simpler to set and quicker to make, perfect during the summer when you can’t bear to be in a hot kitchen.

Just average. I suppose for a ‘no bake’ recipe it was okay. The instructions for the recipe could have been better written. Not worth the extra trouble trying to decipher what you meant.
Edited the recipe directions, hopefully this helps.
