This no-bake Nutella cheesecake is a luscious, creamy dessert combining the rich hazelnut flavor of Nutella with a crunchy Oreo crust. Perfect for chocolate lovers, it requires no baking, just chilling, making it a simple yet indulgent treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Crust

  • 200 grams Oreos (about 18 whole Oreo cookies)
  • 45 grams melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 500 grams cream cheese, room temperature
  • 200 grams Nutella
  • 50 grams powdered sugar
  • 200 grams heavy whipping cream (35% fat)

Nutella Disk

  • 150 grams Nutella (for the frozen disk)

Decoration

  • Additional melted Nutella for drizzling
  • 4 Oreos, crushed (only the biscuit part)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Nutella Disk: Line a flat surface with parchment paper. Spread 150 grams of Nutella into a smooth, even circle roughly the size of your cake pan. Slide the parchment paper with the Nutella into the freezer and let it firm up until needed.
  2. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin. Combine the crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom of a springform or cake pan.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, whisk or beat together the cream cheese and 200 grams Nutella until smooth and creamy. Separately, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, taking care not to overwhip.
  4. Combine the Filling: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the Nutella and cream cheese mixture until almost combined. Add the remaining whipped cream and fold carefully until the filling is light, fluffy, and fully combined.
  5. Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread half of the filling evenly over the Oreo crust. Place the frozen Nutella disk in the center, then spread the remaining filling over the top, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  6. Chill the Cheesecake: Cover the assembled cheesecake with plastic wrap or a baking tray to prevent odors and chills well in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight until fully set.
  7. Decorate: Once set, melt additional Nutella and drizzle it evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Crush a few Oreos (removing the cream filling) and sprinkle the biscuit pieces on the sides for a decorative and flavorful finish.
  8. Slice and Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice into portions, and serve immediately, enjoying the creamy, chocolatey delight.
  9. Store Leftovers: Keep any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You may also freeze slices for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter without lumps.
  • Do not overwhip the cream; it should reach soft peaks for best texture.
  • The frozen Nutella disk helps create a gooey center and keeps the Nutella layer neat and contained.
  • Use a springform pan for easy removal.
  • For best results, chill overnight to allow the cheesecake to fully set.
  • Crush Oreos without cream filling for decoration to prevent sogginess.
  • This cheesecake is best served chilled but can be brought to room temperature for a softer texture.
