Nutella lovers, here is the perfect dessert recipe for you. It's easy to prepare, but the most difficult part is waiting for it to chill in the refrigerator before you can eat it. It's thick and creamy and full of Nutella flavor, whipped cream and hazelnu
1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
4 T. melted butter
about 21 oz. cream cheese
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
3/4 c. Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, plus extra for garnish
2 c. whipped cream, plus extra for garnish
1/4 c. chopped hazelnuts
Add graham cracker crumbs and melted butter to a medium bowl; stir until well combined. Press graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan; set aside.
Add cream cheese to a large bowl; mix on high with a hand mixer until cream cheese is creamy and smooth.
Add the powdered sugar; mix on high, scraping down sides of the bowl, making sure everything is well incorporated. Add Nutella; whip on high speed until well combined. Fold in whipped cream (or use whipped topping as a substitute) until everything is well combined, just until no streaks of whipped cream remain.
Pour cream cheese mixture on top of the graham cracker crust into the springform pan; refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The cheesecake could also be put in the freezer for 2-3 hours to set, but just make sure to leave the cheesecake at room temperature for about 25-30 minutes to achieve the perfect texture.
To serve:
Slice with a warm knife; serve garnished with a dollop of whipped cream, the chopped hazelnuts and a drizzle of Nutella. To get the drizzle-y texture, microwave some Nutella in a bowl in increments of 10 seconds until it is liquid enough to drizzle.
12 servings.
