A baked chocolate espresso cheesecake uses eggs, which help it to set properly and keep its shape. When you bake cheesecake, you’ll end up with a rich dessert that’s dense and velvety. A no bake cheesecake tends to be airier and lighter. There are no eggs and no oven is used to make it. Instead, the cheesecake sets in the fridge. Baked cheesecakes are the traditional way to go. Sometimes though, you might fancy making a no bake, without using an oven and with an easy prep. If you do, check out my no bake espresso cheesecake recipe.
