Ingredients

• 250g cream cheese
• 200g Nutella
• 150g Ferrero Rocher chocolates
• 100g butter
• 100g sugar

Instructions

1. Step 1: Prepare the crust by crushing the Ferrero Rocher chocolates and mixing them with melted butter and sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan to form an even layer.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and Nutella until smooth and creamy. Pour this filling over the crust, spreading evenly.
3. Step 3: Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until fully set. Alternatively, bake it at 160°C (320°F) for 20-25 minutes for a firmer texture, then cool completely before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For an extra crunch, reserve some chopped Ferrero Rocher to sprinkle on top before serving.
• If Nutella is too thick, gently warm it to make mixing easier.
• Substitute the crust with crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits if you prefer a lighter base.

Storage

Store the cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving, allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for the best texture. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate instead of Nutella?

Yes, you can substitute Nutella with any chocolate-hazelnut spread or even melted milk chocolate, though the flavor will vary slightly.

Do I have to bake the cheesecake?

No, this recipe works well with no-bake setting in the refrigerator. Baking produces a firmer texture, so choose based on your preference.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Crust Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups crushed Ferrero Rocher cookies or wafer crumbs
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Filling Ingredients

• 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Nutella
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

• 8–10 whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chopped or halved

Instructions

1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Ferrero Rocher cookies, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer.
2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add Nutella and sugar, then continue to blend until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, followed by vanilla extract.
3. Assemble and bake: Pour the Nutella cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for about 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake center is almost set but slightly jiggly.
4. Cool and chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set and enhance the flavors.
5. Add topping and serve: Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with chopped or halved Ferrero Rocher chocolates for extra crunch and chocolate hazelnut flavor. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

• Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling.
• Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cheesecake.
• Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly for best texture and flavor.
• For a no-bake version, use gelatin in the filling and chill instead of baking.
