This No Bake Nutella Cheesecake recipe is absolutely DIVINE. And I mean it. I have tried others and boastfully perhaps, I think this recipe is the best of all. The perfect blend of luxurious nutella, sweetened cream cheese and velvety double cream, all sitting atop a deliciously chocolate oreo base.
Nutella Cheesecake
My children seem to go nuts for Nutella and Biscoff desserts. I am usually a little more reserved, however this no bake cheesecake has made my culinary heart more than flutter.
It’s dark biscuit base and nutty,chocolate rich cheesecake filling had me at first lick of the spoon (chef’s perks ssssh).
This is a cheesecake of the most highest order if I do say so myself….and I absolutely do. The sort to make you feel deeply satisfied for days……and days.
It is now firmly established in my top 5 cheesecake recipes and with very good reason, trust me.
Nutella Cheesecake
Nutella Cheesecake Recipe with Oreo Crust.
I have found that as gorgeous as Nutella is, it can be a little too rich in a cheesecake but this baby is just right. Creamily mellowed out with a generous amount of cream cheese and icing sugar, it is near enough perfect.
It is a deeply chocolatey cheesecake in a completely Nutella way. It has a chocolate Oreo base that is just perfect with the Nutella Cheesecake filling. I love an Oreo base at the best of times but it’s darkness is just perfect here.
Incredibly moreish I serve mine coupled with strawberries and cream. It is stupendous. One of the most delicious cheesecakes I have ever eaten.
- All that is required for this glorious base is a whizz in the food processor before smoothing all over the base of the serving dish.
- I use a 22cm deep Springform Loose bottomed pan. It is so easy to get the baby out then.
The cream is whipped first in my free standing mixer before emptying out into another bowl on standby. It needs to be quite firm. A large mixing bowl and hand held electric mixer is fine too.
-
- Next I whip together the Cream Cheese and Icing Sugar.
- Followed by the Nutella at room temperature, mixing again and then whisking back in the whipped cream.
Final mixture
- The whole delicious lot is then dolloped onto the base and evened out for a smooth finish.
- I put mine in the freezer for an hour before putting back into the fridge for another three hours.
- I do normally make cheesecakes the night before and then I wouldn’t bother with the freezer at all.
Smoothed over and ready for chilling
- Scatter the chopped hazelnuts over the top of the cheesecake when ready to serve.
No Bake Nutella Cheesecake Tips
- If you don’t have icing sugar then you can substitute caster sugar. Just check that it is mixed through enough and not grainy.
- Speed up the setting process by putting the cheesecake in the freezer for an hour at the beginning of chilling time.
- Make sure the Nutella is at room temperature as it is tricky to remove from the jar when cold.
- Store leftovers in the fridge covered.
- Nutella is not recommended to be completely frozen by the manufacturers so it’s best to eat all the leftovers yourself from the fridge…..yes!!!!! That’s breakfast sorted….
- I like to serve mine with strawberries and double cream.
Equipment Required
- Food Processor or rolling pin and large freezer bag to crush the Oreos.
- Free Standing Mixer or large mixing bowl and electric whisk.
- Digital Scales
- 22cm loose bottomed spring release round baking tin.
- Spatula and spoon.

The Cheesecake looks to die for…may I know if whipped cream and cream cheese is needed to make cheese cake?( I haven’t made one for myself, so curious to know)
Thank you for adding my Sheet Pancake

It was a pleasure it looked lovely! There are two types of Cheesecake-baked and no baked.The baked contains eggs.But usually it is a combo of cream cheese,sugar and cream.You can use condensed milk as a substitute instead of the cream and sugar too. ?

These. Look. Perfect! I am NOT a baker by any stretch of the imagination (something always goes wrong, I get distracted, etc), but this I am going to save and try in the future. Maybe after a long day in the garden or romping about as you suggest. Happy #FiestaFriday to you.

You definitely earned this! I did laugh reading about your garden adventures….. It’s the same here. The problem for us though is that we only have the one child, so there is NO escaping the ‘playmate’ requirement. Bl…y nightmare…. My athleticism left me years ago too!
Nutella cheesecake sounds like the perfect antidote x

Kate… exactly my thoughts! We’ve resorted to having other peoples children over as it saves my energy!?

I’m glad I’m not the only one. So sorry you have to do it all the time!I am resorting to hiding around the house and giving them unlimited time on the x box…..I can take it no more…..it’s scorchio out there. Bring on the winter….

Jenny this did make me giggle! I think I need to dig out the old Famous Five books and leave them laying around in the hope someone decides they’re worth reading (maybe Secret Seven too)! Oreos are a favourite in this house (& they’re naturally vegan yay) and Nutella is a winner everywhere so this is getting printed to be made very soon! Thanks so much for co-hosting Fiesta Friday again! ?

I loved reading them when I was a child. They keep sneaking back into my grown up life!My children aren’t interested unfortunately..Have a great weekend.

Oh no Donna!I don’t eat Nutella on toast or anything either and I prefer a Hobnob to an Oreo but they give an amazingly dark chocolate biscuity base and the cream takes the intensity off the Nutella . Serve with Strawberries and everyone will go nuts for it.I can see it on your gorgeous table now ❤️❤️
