Since we don’t have the space to entertain, my Hubs always asks my parents to host us for big events… and since I never like (plan) to go anywhere empty handed, I always offer to bring dessert. This ended up being a disaster at Christmas, so I knew I had to step up my game for the Superbowl! The Hubs asked that I make cheesecake “because everyone like cheesecake”, but I wanted to do something different than my signature New York Style Cheesecake… As we drove to the store, I scanned my pinterest boards and looked for something good… Enter Nigella Lawson and her amazingly simple No Bake Nutella Cheesecake recipe. Easiest. Thing. Ever. And best of all — it requires NO baking… and almost all the ingredients were on Target’s Cartwheel app… so that was exciting too!
- 2 packages of graham crackers (10 ounces)
- 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter, room temperature
- 13-ounce jar of
- Nutella
- (one tablespoon separate)
- 3/4 cup of hazelnuts (three tablespoons separate)
- 2 eight ounce packages of cream cheese, room temperature (1 pound)
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- Using a food processor, crush graham crackers, butter, and 1 tablespoon of Nutella. Add 3 tablespoons of hazelnuts and crush again.
- Push crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator.
- Cream powdered sugar and cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add remainder of Nutella to mixture and mix well.
- Spoon Nutella mixture into crust. Pour the remainder of hazelnuts over the top. Refrigerate four hours (or overnight) and serve chilled.
MMMM!! Cheesecake is my WEAKNESS! I always cheat and buy the storemade crusts though, whoopsies 🙂
I used to do that, too… until I realized how easy it was to just make it myself! My food processor is TOTALLY my favorite thing ever.
If this wasn’t totally death to me id fully be making it ASAP. It looks SO GOOD.
Yep. If we weren’t going to Vegas, I would totally be eating the entire thing… which is why I left it my parents’ house…
i loveee this recipe! it is so rich and tasty!
Tasty indeed!! AND SO EASY.
Ummmm…this sounds amazing!! I will be making this soon. Probably this week because I have no self control when it comes to Nutella!
This looks seriously delicious! 🙂 I am going to have to try this one out in the very near future 🙂 I just happened to stumble across your blog today, and I am so glad that I did! I am your newest follower and can’t wait to read more! 🙂
