You know how much I love to make (and eat) cheesecake. I have been asked many times to publish a recipe that is fast, inexpensive and easy enough for a 4 year old to make. Well, if you like chocolate and own a hand mixer then this recipe is for you. In the 5 minutes it takes to whip up a chocolate pudding mix and beat in a few box ingredients you can have this baby in your refrigerator. The hardest part is waiting the hour to let it chill. Honest! You can trust me on this. Enjoy!
My Tip Friday, 6 Tips To A Perfect Cheesecake Experience will guide you to that perfect cheesecake outcome!

Thank you for sharing on #Omhgff this week. 🙂
Wishing you a great weekend!
thank you so much for the kind words and the pin Karren. i have made a lot of cheesecakes using many different methods, but this one is my favorite and the easiest! have a great week.
Looks heavenly, definitely making this recipe. Can I beat fresh cream and use it instead of the whipped topping, Marilyn? And if yes, how much beaten cream will that be? Rhanks So much, appreciate …
I wouldn’t substitute cream and expect cheesecake. You can however, add a pint of whipping cream, coolwhip, or reddi whip type of product mixed into the pudding. If you do that you will end up with a mousse filling instead of a cheesecake. A mousse is a lighter, more whipped texture than regular pudding. Enjoy and let me know what you decide!
Thank you for your reply to my question, Marilyn. I really also thought that a tub of whipped topping will give the same results as fresh whipping cream – my mistake. We are farmers and have cans full of freshly separated cream from our dairy on the farm, hence my question. I also noticed that a lot of recipes ask for cream cheese and whipping cream as ingredients – this is the way one learns, thank you again for your quick response!
So quick and easy and everyone will love it.

This looks so yummy and easy to make! Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome Lisa! Have a great week.
I love cheesecakes and seeing as this one is so easy I should try and make one with my little ones, aged 3 and 5. They love cheesecake but I haven’t made one for ages. Instead, whenever I try and eat one for dessert when we go out, they join in a eat most of it before I have a chance!
That happens at my home too. (Thank goodness for my cholestrol). The kids will have a ball and you will be making some precious memories. Enjoy!
This is so clever! I always make fruity cheesecakes but I might have to have a go at this one. Definitely pinning! #CookBlogShare
Thanks so much for the pinDonna. I love how quick this is in a pinch. Happy thanksgiving!
What a good idea. I actually have a four-year-old granddaughter that would love helping me to make this one day for her family when they come over for dinner.
The kids just love to bake with me and this is one of their favorites. And I don’t seem to have that urge to jump in and say, “do it lke this”! I hope you have fun and enjoy the cheesecake too! Happy Thanksgiving!
I think I’ll make sure I have everything on hand. What a great thing to whip up for unexpected visitors! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party!
To tell the truth Helen, I whipped this up for a card party I forgot about! Enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving!
Looks heavenly Marilyn! Thanks for sharing at #overthemoon link party and happy 100th celebrations for the link up.

Sounds like a good one to make without too much fuss. I’ve got a Christmas potluck to go to in a couple of weeks. Hmmm….
I do hope you make it for the pot luck! It will be a huge hit! Have a great week!
