Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup Nutella (for drizzling)
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly coated.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until combined.
  7. Add Nutella and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.
  8. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  9. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture until just combined.
  10. Pour the Nutella cheesecake filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
  11. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  12. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  13. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
  14. Warm the ¼ cup of Nutella in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  15. Drizzle the warmed Nutella over the cheesecake in a decorative pattern.
  16. Optionally, sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the cheesecake to set overnight for optimal flavor and texture.
  • You can customize the topping with your favorite chocolate garnishes.
