- Line the base of a springform pan with parchment paper.

- Beat cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth. Add Nutella and mix to combine.
- Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold into the Nutella mixture.
- Stir the dissolved gelatine into the filling until fully incorporated. Pour the mousse mixture over the chilled base and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- For the ganache, warm the cream in a small saucepan. Add Nutella and chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly, then pour over the set cheesecake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Whip remaining cream to soft peaks and spoon or pipe onto the cheesecake.
- Top with chopped hazelnuts and drizzle warmed Nutella over the top before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.
