Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
