Nutella Cheesecake
This Nutella Cheesecake combines a graham cracker crust mixed with butter and Nutella, topped with a creamy filling blended from cream cheese, powdered sugar, and Nutella. Toasted chopped hazelnuts sprinkled on top provide a crunchy contrast, echoing the hazelnut flavor. Chilling the assembled cake allows it to set firmly, making for smooth, rich slices that marry chocolate and hazelnut tastes.
Ingredients
- 10 oz. (280g) graham crackers digestive biscuits
- 5 tablespoons butter soft, unsalted
- 13 oz. (375g) Nutella at room temperature
- ¾ cup hazelnut chopped, toasted
- 1 lb. (500g) cream cheese at room temperature
- ½ cup confectioners' sugar sifted
Instructions
- Break the graham crackers (digestives) into the bowl of a processor, add the butter and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of Nutella, and blitz until it starts to clump. Add 25g (3 tablespoons) of the hazelnuts and pulse until you have a damp, sandy mixture.
- Tip the mixture into a 23 cm (9-inch) round springform pan and press it into the base using your hands or the back of a spoon. Place the pan in the fridge to chill.
- Beat the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Then, add the remaining Nutella to the cream cheese mixture and continue beating until well 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. Place the tin in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight. Serve straight from the fridge for the best results.
