Nutella Cheesecake is fabulously creamy, rich, and smooth with lots of Nutella flavor and an oreo crust. One bite and you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven. You won’t find a more decadent cheesecake and if you’re a Nutella fan, this is a must try recipe.
Nutella cheesecake is a cheesecake you’ll want to make for a special occasion because it is fabulously indulgent. In addition to a creamy Nutella filling, there’s also a rich chocolate ganache on top. The oreo crust has hazelnuts in it for extra flavor.
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.
