Description

This luscious Nutella Cheesecake features a creamy, chocolate-hazelnut filling atop a crunchy graham cracker crust. Easy to prepare with no baking required, it’s a decadent dessert perfect for any occasion. The smooth blend of cream cheese, Nutella, and whipped cream creates a rich and indulgent treat that sets beautifully in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 graham crackers, crushed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz (2 cups) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Garnish (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (optional, for drizzling on top)
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Chopped hazelnuts (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir well until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter mixture to help them bind.
  2. Press the crust: Transfer the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to firmly press it down evenly to form the crust base.
  3. Chill the crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and harden slightly, providing a stable foundation for the filling.
  4. Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes, ensuring there are no lumps.
  5. Add Nutella and sugar: Add the Nutella and powdered sugar to the cream cheese, and continue beating until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is silky.
  6. Whip the cream: In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy cream along with the vanilla extract until soft peaks form, meaning the cream holds shape but is still light and airy.
  7. Fold whipped cream in: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella and cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Take care to incorporate fully while keeping the mixture light and fluffy.
  8. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula to create a smooth surface.
  9. Chill the cheesecake: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, so it can set firmly and the flavors can meld.
  10. Add garnish: Once fully set, drizzle with additional chocolate hazelnut spread for extra indulgence. Optionally, add whipped cream, chopped hazelnuts, or chocolate shavings on top for added texture and decoration.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth filling.
  • Chilling the crust before adding the filling helps it set properly and maintain structure.
  • Folding the whipped cream gently keeps the filling light and airy, preventing it from deflating.
  • The cheesecake needs plenty of refrigeration time to firm up since it’s a no-bake recipe.
  • For easier slicing, run a knife under hot water and wipe dry before cutting the cheesecake.
