Description

A rich and creamy no-bake cheesecake made with chocolate hazelnut spread and a crunchy Oreo crust.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 oz white chocolate, melted
  • 3/4 cup toasted hazelnuts, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix Oreo crumbs with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  2. Make the filling: Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add chocolate hazelnut spread, melted chocolate, and vanilla. Mix until creamy.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the chocolate mixture.
  4. Assemble: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 240–360 minutes, preferably overnight.
  5. Prepare the ganache: Heat heavy cream until steaming, then pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes and stir until glossy. Cool until slightly thickened but still pourable.
  6. Decorate: Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake. Immediately pipe thin parallel lines of melted white chocolate across the surface. Drag a toothpick back and forth in alternating directions to create the beautiful feathered pattern.
  7. Add hazelnuts: Sprinkle chopped toasted hazelnuts around the outer edge while the ganache is still soft.
  8. Chill and serve: Refrigerate for another 30–60 minutes until the ganache sets. Carefully remove from the pan, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts.
