This No Bake Rocky Road Cheesecake with Brownie Crust is a quick and easy dessert recipe that is perfect for backyard barbecues and summer parties!
It’s that time of year again. Absolute, pure craziness. Just looking at my calendar makes me tired. Concert season is here, which means getting my elementary kiddies ready for 5 performances in the next couple of weeks. Yes, 5. Wedding and engagement season has officially started for us over at Ashe Photography Studio. Oh, and then there’s Olivia. She expected to arrive towards the end of June, so I’m trying to get the nursery all ready for her!
And let’s not even talk about all the yardwork that needs to be done. I spent 5 hours yesterday weeding and mulching, and I’m only almost half way there. I hurt in places I didn’t know I could hurt. Ugh.
There’s a lot of work to be done, but a dude also needs some time to play. And that means trying to actually enjoy this beautiful Spring weather by getting together with some friends here and there. And that’s when super quick and easy dessert recipes like this No Bake Rocky Road Cheesecake with Brownie Crust are totally key to keeping my sanity and delivering big on flavor.
Let’s talk cheesecake, shall we? First, this brownie crust. I mean, really, what’s better than a chocolately, fudgy brownie? Not much, but I’ll tell you one thing… a No Bake Cheesecake put on top of said brownie. It’s a thing of beauty.
And the cheesecake is literally as easy as mixing up some cream cheese, powdered sugar, melted chocolate chips, and whipped topping. That’s it.
Then the fun part… I swirled in some marshmallow fluff, then went crazy with topping this sucker with peanuts and mini marshmallows. In Asheley’s mind, you can never have too many marshmallows and peanuts on top, so don’t be skimpy people.

May 20, 2015 at 10:54 amThis is absolutely stunning! Love the cake pan and that marshmallow fluff WOO! I would definitely have fun with that. I know things may be overwhelming but hang in there, one step at a time. I’m sure once the baby comes, everything will work out just fine. 🙂 Now the cake… I’m hyperventilating!

May 20, 2015 at 1:34 pmThe most important thing, Chris, I do love this amazing prop you used (I’m not quite sure what it is exactly but I don’t care much). Secondly, love the ambiance of this and most of your other pictures. Last but not least, love this simplified cheesecake version – brownies paired with cream cheese and other good things…that’s the winner! Great job!

This would be perfect for me to whip up when my daughter’s friends come over! Here’s hoping you and your wife get to enjoy a little bit of down time amidst the chaos!

June 14, 2015 at 3:33 amI’ve been surfing online more than 4 hours today,
yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made
good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
