Ingredients

    For the base:
  • 100g milk chocolate chips
  • 100g dark chocolate chips
  • 400g hazelnuts
  • 1 tbsp Nutella
    • For the cheesecake:
  • 560gcream cheese
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 500g Nutella

We're obsessed with cheesecake all year round, but sometimes we need to mix things up a bit. This Nutella Cheesecake really welcomes in the cold weather, and satisfies even the sweetest of teeth.

Method

  • To make the base, pour the hazelnuts into your food processor and pulse a few times to start breaking them up. Add your chocolate chips, and a tablespoon of Nutella, and pulse a few more times until everything comes together into a slightly sicky, but still chunky base.
  • Spoon your hazelnut base into your cake tin, pressing down with your spoon, and chill in the fridge until your filling is ready!
  • For the cheesecake, whip the cream cheese and icing sugar together. Add the rest of the Nutella and whisk until all is combined. This should be a super smooth, but light mixture.
  • Top the hazelnut base with your Nutella cream cheese mix, smooth out the top in any pattern you'd like and place in your fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
  • Cut, serve and enjoy!
