Frozen Hot Chocolate Cheesecake

By Holly Sosa

Summer is in full swing here at Casa de Sosa. Plenty of cold pasta, Crockpot dinners, and anything else we can do to keep the desert sun from keeping our home too warm inside. I’ve been pinning away recipes for weeks now looking for the perfect frozen dessert to make for our church’s weekly community group. And I have found true frozen dessert peace with this Frozen Hot Chocolate Cheesecake. Only, I was so excited I made it a week early…and we kind of ate it all before I could serve it to our community group. No REGERTS guys.

The hardest part about this recipe is letting it freeze. It will need to freeze overnight or at the very least, for eight hours. Resist the temptation, friends! Trust me and wait because this pie is glorious and worth every minute of torturous waiting.

Pull it out about ten minutes before serving and garnish however you like. With whipped cream, more crushed OREO cookies, or both, ha! Since this is a frozen pie, remember that it’s supposed to have an ice cream texture and any leftovers should be popped back into the freezer. But you’re not going to have any leftovers because THIS PIE!!!
