02 - ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted.
03 - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
04 - 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened.
05 - 1 cup powdered sugar.
06 - 1 tsp vanilla extract.

09 - Pink food coloring (gel or liquid).
10 - Whipped cream.
11 - M&Ms.
12 - Chopped Snickers bars (optional).

Instructions:

01 - Grind the chocolate cookies into crumbs using a food processor or a sealed bag and muscle power. Combine the crumbs with melted butter and mix well. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.
02 - In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the chocolate chips, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - With an electric mixer, whip the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the cooled chocolate, beating until well combined.
04 - Gently fold the chopped Snickers bars into the chocolate mixture.
05 - In a small bowl, add a few drops of pink food coloring to a bit of the chocolate mixture. Mix well. Add it back to the main bowl, mixing after each addition, until you reach your perfect shade of pink.
06 - In another bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pink chocolate mixture until just combined. Don't overmix!.
07 - Pour the pink chocolate filling over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
08 - Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the pan. Garnish with whipped cream, colorful M&Ms, and chopped Snickers bars (optional) for an extra touch of fun. Enjoy this vibrant, fun, and delicious no-bake cheesecake at your next celebration! 🌈✨.
