Tips For Making Nutella Cheesecake

• Use a quality springform pan and  wrap the bottom and sides with aluminum foil just in case it leaks. This is also important if you use a water bath.
• Use a water bath for more even cooking and hopefully no crack on top. But no worries if it does crack a little. The ganache will hide it.
• Don’t overbeat the filling once you add the eggs. It will just whip air into the batter which will cause the cheesecake to puff up as it bakes.
• Don’t overbake the cheesecake. It will still be a little jiggly when you remove it from the oven but it will firm up as it cools.
• I recommend using Nutella, but another chocolate hazelnut spread can be used.

Storage

Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place oreos and hazelnuts in a food processor and process until evenly ground.
• Drizzle melted butter in while pulsing the food processor.

• Add heavy cream, vanilla, and salt and beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is mixed evenly.

• Pour batter on top of crust. Place cheesecake inside a roasting pan. Be sure the bottom and sides of springform pan are wrapped well with aluminum foil. Pour water into the roasting pan so that it comes halfway up the cheesecake. Note; Instead of doing this, you can place a roasting pan filled with water.on the bottom rack of the oven.
• Bake cheesecake for 60 minutes. Turn oven off. Do not open the door. Leave cheesecake in oven for 60 more minutes.
• Remove cheesecake from waterbath and run a knife around the sides. Remove the sides of the springform pan. Refrigerate overnight.
