Ingredients
2 cups crushed chocolate graham crackers or Oreo crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cream cheese, softened
2 cups Nutella
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
Extra Nutella for drizzling (optional)
Whipped cream (optional)
Chopped hazelnuts or chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Mix the crushed chocolate graham crackers or Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add Nutella, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture, keeping the texture light and airy.
- Pour the filling onto the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until fully set.
- Before serving, drizzle with extra Nutella and top with whipped cream and chopped hazelnuts or chocolate shavings if desired.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Use chocolate digestive biscuits or Biscoff cookies for a crust variation.
Add cocoa powder to the crust for extra chocolate flavor.
Make mini cheesecakes using a muffin tin for individual servings.
Add a few tablespoons of sour cream to the filling for a tangy twist.
Top with Ferrero Rocher, toasted hazelnuts, or fresh raspberries for extra flair.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Do not freeze, as the texture may change.
