Description

This no-bake Nutella Cheesecake is rich, creamy, and indulgent with a crunchy Oreo base, silky Nutella mousse filling, and a glossy Nutella ganache topping. Perfect for chocolate lovers and easy enough for any occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200g / 7oz Oreo cookies
  • 60g / 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tsp gelatine powder
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 500g / 1 lb cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar / powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 cup heavy / thickened cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy / thickened cream (for ganache)
  • 1/2 cup Nutella (for ganache)
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips / semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup hazelnuts, lightly toasted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy / thickened cream (for whipping)
  • 3 tbsp Nutella, warmed (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Line the base of a springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press firmly into the base of the pan and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  3. Sprinkle gelatine over 1/4 cup water and let bloom for 5 minutes. Gently warm to dissolve and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Beat cream cheese and icing sugar together until smooth. Add Nutella and mix to combine.
  5. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold into the Nutella mixture.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Whip remaining cream to soft peaks and spoon or pipe onto the cheesecake.
  9. Top with chopped hazelnuts and drizzle warmed Nutella over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.
  • Do not skip blooming the gelatine to avoid lumps.
  • Refrigerate overnight for best texture and clean slices.
  • Toast hazelnuts lightly to enhance their flavor.
