No-Bake Nutella Cheesecakes
Description
No-Bake Nutella Cheesecakes start with a crust of Oreo cookie crumbs mixed with melted unsalted butter, pressed into individual serving dishes. The filling combines softened cream cheese, Nutella, and vanilla extract beaten smooth, then folded gently into whipped topping to maintain a light texture.
After filling the crusts with the silky Nutella mixture, the cheesecakes chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours to firm up, resulting in a creamy, scoopable dessert with a balanced sweetness and hazelnut-chocolate richness from the Nutella. Optional garnishes like whipped topping, chocolate shavings, and toasted chopped hazelnuts add texture and presentation appeal.
They are convenient to make ahead and serve cold without baking, suitable for individual servings and casual gatherings. The Oreo crust contrasts with the smooth filling for textural interest.
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo cookies crushed into crumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ⅔ cup Nutella
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed, frozen
- whipped topping optional
- chocolate optional, shavings
- toasted chopped hazelnuts, optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Evenly divide the crumbs between your individual serving dishes and press into the bottoms of the dishes to form a crust layer.
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and Nutella until smooth. Add vanilla and mix to combine. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped topping until well blended and no streaks remain.
- Evenly pipe or spoon the filling into individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- If desired, garnish with additional whipped topping, chocolate shavings, and/or toasted, chopped hazelnuts.
