Ingredients to Make No Bake Nutella Cheesecake

The ingredients for the No Bake Nutella Cheesecake are not only simple but also work harmoniously to create a luscious dessert. The key players, including Oreo cookies for the crust and Nutella for that rich chocolate flavor, combine to make this treat utterly irresistible.

• 12 Oreo cookies (crushed) – These provide a sweet and chocolatey crust that perfectly complements the creamy filling.
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted) – This helps bind the crushed cookies together for a stable crust.
• 8 ounces cream cheese (1 package) – The base of the cheesecake, providing richness and creaminess.
• ⅔ cup Nutella – This hazelnut spread adds a deep chocolate flavor that is simply divine.
• 8 ounces cool whip (fat free or regular) – This gives the cheesecake a light, airy texture.
• ½ cup cool whip – Used to top the cheesecake for an extra creamy layer.
• 2 tablespoons hazelnuts (chopped) – Adds a crunch and nutty flavor that enhances the dessert.
• 1 tablespoon chocolate (shaved or grated) – A decorative touch that adds elegance and extra sweetness.

Cooking Method for No Bake Nutella Cheesecake

Making this cheesecake is as enjoyable as eating it! The process is straightforward, and each step is filled with anticipation as you watch your dessert come together. Here’s how to make your own stunning No Bake Nutella Cheesecake.

1. Make Crust: To create the crust, take the Oreo cookies and crush them inside a ziplock bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Once the cookies are crushed, transfer them to a mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter. Mix until combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of four individual serving dishes to form an even crust.
2. Make Nutella Cheesecake: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and Nutella. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps. Gradually fold in one cup of the cool whip until the mixture is uniform and fluffy, avoiding over-mixing.
3. Fill Dishes: Transfer the cheesecake mixture into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the filling evenly into each dish over the prepared crust. Alternatively, you can use a spoon to scoop the filling directly into the dishes.
4. Set: It’s time to let your cheesecake set! Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
5. Finish & Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the fridge. Top each cheesecake with the remaining cool whip, then sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and finish with shaved chocolate for a beautiful presentation. Your cheesecake is now ready to be enjoyed!
