Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 250 g about 2 cups digestive biscuits or graham crackers — crushed into fine crumbs. Oreos work beautifully as a chocolatey alternative.
- 100 g 7 tablespoons unsalted butter — melted. Use coconut oil for a dairy-free twist.
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar — optional but adds a subtle sweetness to the base.
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 500 g 2 cups full-fat cream cheese — softened to room temperature. Mascarpone is a luxurious substitute.
- 400 g 1½ cups Nutella — the star of the show. Any chocolate hazelnut spread works here.
- 300 ml 1¼ cups heavy whipping cream — cold, for whipping. Coconut cream is a great dairy-free option.
- 100 g ¾ cup powdered sugar — sifted for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract — enhances the chocolate hazelnut notes beautifully.
For the Topping
- 100 g ½ cup Nutella — warmed slightly for easy drizzling.
- 50 g ⅓ cup chopped roasted hazelnuts — for crunch and visual appeal.
- Chocolate shavings or curls — for an elegant finishing touch.
- Whipped cream — piped around the edges for a bakery-style presentation.
