This Nutella Cheesecake is absolutely DIVINE. And I mean it. I have tried others and boastfully perhaps, I this recipe is the best of all.
Nutella Cheesecake
I am starting to actually enjoy this heat wave. Being able to live in holiday mode i.e leave everything out in the garden really suits my way of housekeeping. Yesterday I found 3 socks, a pair of pants and 5 glittery nail varnishes not to mention a varying selection of cuddly toys and lots of shoes scattered casually across the lawn……..I left them there. I loves it. I romanticise it into a carefree, Famous Five kind of childhood home vibe. But why I think that Aunt Fanny wasn’t keeping a tidy house I couldn’t tell you. Perhaps it was all those picnics.There is however one big problem with all this outdoor weather. My children have become mad keen on playing out in the garden. Football, Tennis and anything else in between and, here’s the thing, they want me to join in……..WTF!!!!!That’s why Aunt Fanny was nowhere to be seen the clever whatnot…….For the Love of God my athletic prowess left me sometime in 2010. Heaving my body around in the heat sweating and flapping all over the lawn is never going to be medically sensible or a good look. I am bound to go over on a cankle or wet myself a little bit……. My daughter actually turned round to me yesterday and said, “Get those bingo wings in goal Mum”……………she’s seven. Cheeky, but accurate, little minx. Every time Summer comes around again I berate myself for eating like a very, very hungry person throughout all of Winter. I usually sweat and chafe right through to August completely in the shade before emerging in loose clothing for the few days of an Indian Summer come September. I then vow to be in shape for the next one imagining myself in little shorts and off the shoulder tops. The truth in reality is much more of the same. But I have nowhere to hide here. I have to get my ass out there and bob about at least a little enthusiastically…….F.ck……pass me the Ginger Beer.
Nutella Cheesecake.
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. I have allowed myself full indulgence here due to all my recent activity and Oh My God all that sweating was worth it. This is a deeply chocolatey cheesecake in a completely Nutella way. It has a chocolate Oreo base that is just perfect with the creamy and luxurious Nutella Cheesecake filling. I love an Oreo base at the best of times but it’s darkness is just perfect here. This no bake chocolate cheesecake is so incredible it is perhaps the best cheesecake recipe I have ever created. Speciality cheesecakes are not usually my bag but this is the exception. Incredibly moreish I served mine coupled with Strawberries and Cream. It was stupendous. One of the most delicious cheesecakes I have ever eaten. 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……
Nutella Cheesecake
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.
Oreo Biscuit Base
The cream is whipped first in my free standing mixer before emptying out into another bowl on standby. It needs to be quite firm.
Whipped cream
Next I whip together the Cream Cheese and Icing Sugar before adding the Nutella at room temperature, mixing again and then folding back in the cream.

Nutella Cheesecake Filling
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 and it was just right. I do normally make cheesecakes the night before and then I wouldn’t bother with the freezer at all. I was just needing it in four hours.

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!?
applytofaceblog
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.

Donna morgan
I do not care for Nutella or oreoes … however I feel the need to make this !! Won’t do my canckle s it bingo wings any good at all mind ??
applytofaceblog
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 ❤️❤️

Oh you did make me laugh Jenny. You put the whole summer and it’s too hot to move thing absolutely brilliantly. As for the cheesecake, it sounds wonderful and would be demolished in no time chez-moi. Thanks for linking to the last ever #WeShouldCocoa.
