No bake Nutella cheesecake

Grab a sheet of parchment paper and place it on a flat surface.

Start by crushing the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin and ziplock bag. Mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a pan to create an even crust.

In a large mixing bowl, combine room-temperature cream cheese and Nutella. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend them until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar to soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as it will thicken further when mixed with the other ingredients.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella and cream cheese mixture in two separate times. First fold half of the mixture and once it’s almost fully integrated, add the other half. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until fully combined. The filling should be light, fluffy, and smooth.

Pour half of the filling into the prepared pan and spread it evenly over the Oreo crust. Add a generous layer of Nutella in the center, (i recommend you freeze a Nutella disk and then add it easily) then top with the remaining filling. Smooth the surface with a spatula to create an even layer.

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or a baking tray to protect it from any odors or spills in the fridge. Chill the cheesecake for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.

Once the cheesecake is set, melt some Nutella and drizzle it over the top. Tilt the pan to spread the Nutella evenly. Crush a few Oreos (only the biscuit) and sprinkle them on the sides for a beautiful and delicious finishing touch.

Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice it into portions. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey goodness of your no-bake Nutella cheesecake!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
