Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the base of an 8-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge while making the filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

- Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add Nutella and mix until fully combined.
- Stir in the dissolved gelatin, mixing well.
- Gently fold in whipped cream until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 3: Prepare the Ganache & Toppings
- Heat the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl until warm (not boiling).
- Add Nutella and chocolate chips, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake, spreading evenly.
- Garnish with chopped hazelnuts and whipped cream.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan.
- Slice using a warm knife for clean cuts.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Let the cheesecake chill overnight for the best texture.
- To make it gluten-free, use a nut-based crust or gluten-free cookies.
- For a firmer filling, increase the gelatin to 2.5 tsp.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
