Description
A delightful treat combining the rich flavor of Nutella with creamy cheesecake, perfect for celebrations or satisfying sweet cravings.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Crushed Digestive Biscuits
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
- 16 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- Additional Nutella for drizzling
- Chopped Hazelnuts
- Dollop of Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine crushed digestive biscuits with melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add Nutella and lemon juice, and beat until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella-cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Once set, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then release the springform clasp. Drizzle with Nutella, sprinkle with hazelnuts, and serve.
Notes
Make sure your cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps. This cheesecake can be prepared a day in advance for better flavor.
