OreoNutella Cheesecake - This homemade, smooth, Nutella cheesecake filling that's on top of a buttery Oreo crust, is an easy dessert that you can make ahead of time!
Use a fork to stir together the crushed Oreos and the melted butter in a medium sized bowl. Once the ingredients form a wet, sandy mixture, press the mixture into a standard 9-inch springform pan.
In a separate medium sized bowl, use an electric hand mixer to whip the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy.
Add the granulated sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Use the electric hand mixer to incorporate the added ingredients to the cream cheese until the mixture is homogenous.
Whisk in the Nutella until no clumps of Nutella remain in the cream cheese mixture.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the springform pan and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the cheesecake to sit in the freezer for at least 5 hours. (Some freezers may require longer, and it may even be safe to freeze it for 24 hours, to guarantee it will set.
Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Tip: It is important to make sure that the cream cheese and Nutella mixture is completely blended before you pour it into the springform pan. Any lumps of cream cheese that are left in the mixture will float to the top of the mixture before it finishes setting.** See the blog post for more tips and ideas on how to make this no-bake cheesecake an even bigger success!
