nutella cheesecake

Recipe video above. The best way to inject serious Nutella flavour into a cheesecake? Make it NO-BAKE. Foregoing any cooking preserves the Nutella flavour better. A triple hit of Nutella also helps here: in the mousse-like cream cheese filling, the ganache topping and as a drizzle to finish it off!

Nutella Cheesecake (No Bake)

Oreo cookies ((1.5 standard packs, Note 1))

/ 4 tbsp unsalted butter (, melted)

tsp gelatine powder ((Note 2))

water

/ 1 lb cream cheese (, softened (block form, Note 3))

icing sugar / powdered sugar ((Note 4))

Nutella ((Note 5))

heavy/thickened cream

Nutella

dark chocolate chips/semi-sweet chocolate chips

hazelnuts (, lightly toasted then chopped (Note 6))

heavy/thickened cream ((for whipping))

tbsp Nutella (, warmed)

Prepare pan: Flip the base of a 20cm / 8&quot; springform pan upside down – this makes it easier to remove the finished cheesecake without the lip in the way. Butter pan base, then press on a square sheet of baking paper. Clip the pan sides onto the base, letting the excess paper overhang. Butter and line the pan sides with more baking paper.

Blitz cookies: Roughly break up Oreos with hands and place in food processor. Blitz until they become fine crumbs. Add melted butter, then blitz again until combined.

Press into pan: Transfer crumbs into prepared pan, pressing evenly and firmly on to the base (I use the underside of a straight-sided, flat-bottomed cup measure to do this).

Oreo biscuit base:

Bloom gelatine: Place water in a small bowl then sprinkle the gelatine powder across the surface. Stir to partly dissolve. Set aside 5 minutes. It will turn thick; this process is called blooming. Microwave the gelatine for 15 seconds to turn it into liquid, stir, then let it stand for 5 minutes to cool.

Cream cheese and Nutella mixture: Beat cream cheese, Nutella and icing sugar until smooth. Add the cooled gelatine liquid and beat another 30 seconds.

Whip cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.

Fold in cream: Add one third of the whipped cream to the Nutella mixture and gently fold until just combined. Fold in another third of the cream the same way. Then fold in the remaining cream.

Transfer to cake pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and place back in the fridge for at least 1 hour to set.

Nutella mousse filling:

Nutella ganache: Place cream, Nutella and chocolate chips into a heatproof bowl. Microwave in two 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.

Pour ganache onto cheesecake: Allow ganache to cool for 5 minutes, then pour over the set cheesecake base. Tilt pan to spread it over the surface evenly.

Refrigerate cheesecake at least 3 hours before sprinkling with hazelnuts (otherwise they sink into the cake!)

Decorate: Sprinkle over hazelnuts. Pipe dollops of whipped cream around the edge, then drizzle with warm Nutella. Slice greedy-sized wedges and devour!

Nutella Cheesecake - easy no-bake cheesecake loaded with Nutella and hazelnut. Creamy, rich, the best Nutella Cheesecake recipe ever, by Nigella Lawson. 

graham crackers (digestive biscuits)

unsalted butter

¾ cup chopped toasted hazelnuts

lb. cream cheese,

confectioners' sugar (sifted)

Break the graham crackers (digestives) into the bowl of a processor, add the butter and 15 ml or 1 tablespoon of Nutella, and blitz until it starts to clump. Add 25g/3 tablespoons of the hazelnuts and continue to pulse until you have a damp, sandy mixture.

Tip into a 23 cm/9-inch round springform and press into the base either using your hands or the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge to chill.

Beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth and then add the remaining Nutella to the cream cheese mixture, and continue beating until combined.

Take the springform out of the fridge and carefully smooth the Nutella mixture over the base. Scatter the remaining chopped hazelnuts on top to cover and place the tin in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight. Serve straight from the fridge for best results.
