Ingredients
- 300 g Oreo cookies
- 120 g unsalted butter, melted
- 600 g cream cheese, room temperature
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 300 g Nutella
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 8 g vanilla sugar or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 240 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (16 g)
- 200 ml heavy cream (for ganache)
- 4 tablespoons Nutella (75 g)
- 80 g dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 packet whipped cream powder (optional)
- 240 ml cold milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
- Optional toppings: chopped toasted hazelnuts, chocolate curls, extra Nutella for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 22–24 cm springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Wrap the pan in foil to prevent leaks.
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press evenly into the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool. Lower oven temperature to 160°C.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in Nutella until fully incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each. Stir in vanilla, heavy cream, and flour until smooth without overmixing.
- Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake at 160°C for 55–60 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly wobbly. Turn off oven, crack door open, and let rest 1 hour.
- Cool cheesecake to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- For the ganache, heat cream until steaming, then pour over Nutella and chopped chocolate. Let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Cool slightly and spread over chilled cheesecake. Refrigerate 20–30 minutes to set.
- For optional chocolate whipped cream, prepare whipped cream powder with cold milk, sift in cocoa powder, and whip until combined. Pipe over ganache if desired.
- Slice cheesecake with a warm, clean knife. Garnish with chopped hazelnuts, chocolate curls, or a Nutella drizzle if desired.
Notes
- Use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
- Chilling overnight gives best texture and flavor.
- A warm knife ensures clean slices.
- Optional whipped topping adds a decorative touch.
- Skip flour for a softer, more custard-like filling.
