About This Recipe

• This delicious and decadent Nutella Cheesecake uses the essential ingredients that we use in any cheesecake recipe.
• In addition to all that, we use a substantial amount of creamy and smooth Nutella.
• The crust is the traditional crushed Graham crackers; however, other kinds of cookies, such as Oreos or Biscoff, are great, too! I used Graham crackers to emphasize the Nutella flavour, not the additional flavours.
• The balance between the cream cheese and Nutella is perfect, so the result of Nutella Cheesecake is not overly sweet.
• The ingredient list is simple, instruction is easy to follow to give you the best creamy and decadent Nutella Cheesecake.

How To Make The Nutella Cheesecake

• Before making your Nutella Cheesecake, make sure to read my Perfect Cheesecake Hacks. In this post, I show you how to overcome any issues in making a perfect cheesecake.
• We start by making the crust, which is a combination of Graham crackers, brown sugar, and butter. I would like to add a dash of vanilla just because 🙂
• Press the above mixture to the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Set it aside to cool down, and move on to making the cheesecake.

• One important step in making any cheesecake is leaving the blocks out of the fridge a few hours ahead. I leave them out the night before! Other ingredients, such as eggs, should come to room temperature!
• Beat the room-temperature cheesecake until smooth and lump-free. For this step, you can use the stand mixer paddle attachment or a food processor.
• Add the sugar and beat the mixture for a minute or two.

• Now, it is time to add in the Nutella. If you keep the Nutella in the fridge, you can warm it up in the microwave for 10-15-second intervals until it is fully smooth and lump-free.
• Bring the speed to low and gradually add the heavy cream until it is incorporated.
• Switch to a rubber spatula. Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the mixture. Beat until the eggs are incorporated, but DO NOT OVER MIX.

How To Set Up The Pan

• Pour the batter over the baked crust. Place the pan inside another pan and the second one inside a roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water up to ⅔ of the height of the inside pan.
• Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes. After 40 minutes, do the jiggle test, and if it is ready, turn the oven off and leave the cake inside the oven for another hour.
• Crack open the oven door and leave the Nutella Cheesecake inside the oven for half an hour, then leave it on the counter for an hour, then transfer it to the fridge. See Perfect Cheesecake Hacks on how to make the perfect cheesecake.

How To Make The Glaze

• Let it cool down completely, then cover it with the Nutella glaze.
• Bring the heavy cream to a simmer, remove it from the heat, and add the Nutella and mix well. The mixture will become very smooth and shiny.
• Pour it over the cool cheesecake and let it set.
