Nutella Cheesecake




Nutella Cheesecake


Ingredients:
  • 250 gram(s) digestive biscuit(s)
  • 75 gram(s) unsalted butter (soft)
  • 400 gram(s) Nutella (at room temperature)
  • 100 gram(s) hazelnut(s) (toasted and chopped)
  • 500 gram(s) cream cheese (at room temperature)
  • 60 gram(s) Icing sugar


Instructions:

  1. Break the digestives into the bowl of a processor, add the butter and a 15ml tablespoon of Nutella, and blitz until it starts to clump. Add 25g of the hazelnuts and continue to pulse until you have a damp, sandy mixture.
  2. Tip into a 23cm round springform and press into the base either using your hands or the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge to chill.
  3. Beat the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and then add the remaining Nutella to the cream cheese mixture, and continue beating until combined.
  4. Take the springform out of the fridge and carefully smooth the Nutella mixture over the base. Scatter the remaining 75g of chopped hazelnuts on top to cover and place the tin in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight. Serve straight from the fridge for best results.
Additional information - for vegetarians make sure the cream cheese does not contain rennet.
