This Nutella Cheesecake is a no-bake, rich and creamy dessert featuring a graham cracker crust and a luscious Nutella-infused cream cheese filling. Topped with chocolate shavings and optional fresh hazelnuts, this indulgent treat is perfect for chocolate and hazelnut lovers seeking an elegant yet easy-to-make cheesecake.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Garnish

  • ¼ cup chocolate shavings
  • Fresh hazelnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened to form a cohesive base.
  2. Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, spreading it evenly and compacting it to create a solid crust layer. Set aside.
  3. Mix the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add Nutella, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, then blend thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and velvety.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, which means the cream holds its shape firmly.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella cream cheese mixture, carefully blending until fully incorporated without deflating the whipped cream, preserving a light texture.
  6. Fill the Pan: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula for a smooth surface.
  7. Chill the Cheesecake: Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, allowing the cheesecake to firm up and set properly.
  8. Prepare to Serve: After chilling, carefully run a knife around the edges, then remove the sides of the springform pan to reveal the cheesecake.
  9. Garnish: Sprinkle chocolate shavings on top and optionally add fresh hazelnuts for an added crunch and decorative finish.
  10. Slice and Enjoy: Cut the cheesecake into slices using a sharp knife, serving it chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
  • For easier slicing, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry between cuts.
  • You can substitute the graham cracker crust with crushed biscuits if desired.
  • For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the hazelnuts before garnishing.
  • Keep the cheesecake refrigerated until serving to maintain its structure and freshness.
