Ingredients:
Crust Preparation
The foundation of any great cheesecake is its crust, and for this no-bake marvel, we’re using crushed Oreos for a delightful chocolatey crunch. Start by taking your 200g of Oreos and placing them in a food processor. Pulse until they are finely crushed. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a sturdy zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you achieve a fine crum extractb. The goal is to have a texture similar to coarse sand. Once your Oreos are crushed, transfer them to a medium bowl. Add the 50g of melted butter to the crushed Oreos. Mix them thoroughly until all the cookie crum extractbs are moistened by the butter. This will help the crust hold together.
Now, take a 20cm (8-inch) springform pan. You can lightly grease the bottom and sides, or line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal. Spoon the Oreo and butter mixture into the prepared springform pan. Using the bottom of a glass or a flat-bottomed measuring cup, press the mixture firmly and evenly across the bottom of the pan. Make sure to get it nice and compact. You can also press it up slightly along the sides of the pan to create a slight rim, which is lovely for presentation. Place the prepared crust in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow it to firm up while you prepare the filling. This chilling step is crucial for a sturdy crust.
Cheesecake Filling Assembly
Moving on to the star of the show: the creamy, dreamy cheesecake filling! Ensure your 500g of cream cheese is truly softened. This means it should be at room temperature, which makes it much easier to incorporate smoothly without lumps. In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Beat it with an electric mixer on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.
Next, add the 200g of Nutella to the cream cheese. Beat again on medium speed until the Nutella is completely combined with the cream cheese, creating a beautifully smooth, chocolate-hazelnut mixture. Don’t overmix at this stage, just until it’s uniformly combined.
In a separate, clean bowl, whip the 200g of heavy whipping cream. Start on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high speed. As the cream thickens, gradually add the 50g of sugar. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. This means when you lift the whisk, the cream should stand up straight without falling over. Be careful not to overwhip, or you’ll end up with butter!
Gently fold about a third of the whipped cream into the Nutella cream cheese mixture. This step, called “tempering,” lightens the cream cheese mixture and makes it easier to incorporate the rest of the whipped cream without deflating it. Once that’s combined, gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until just combined. Again, avoid overmixing to keep the filling light and airy. You should have a luscious, smooth, and airy filling ready to go.
Assembling and Chilling
Now it’s time to bring it all together. Take your chilled Oreo crust out of the refrigerator. Carefully spoon the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust. Gently spread the filling using a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a smooth, level surface.
For that extra burst of Oreo and Nutella flavor throughout the cheesecake, we’re going to add some more deliciousness. In a small bowl, combine the 100g of chopped Oreos and the 100g of Nutella. Stir this mixture until you have a thick, chunky spread. Dollop spoonfuls of this Oreo-Nutella mixture evenly over the surface of the cheesecake filling. Don’t worry about spreading it perfectly; you want those little pockets of intense flavor. You can then gently swirl them into the cheesecake filling with a knife or toothpick, or just leave them as dollops – both look and taste fantastic.
Finally, cover the cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap. It’s important to prevent any odors from the refrigerator from affecting the cheesecake. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to chill and set. This no-bake cheesecake needs at least 4-6 hours to set properly, but overnight is even better for the flavors to meld and the texture to become perfectly firm. The longer it chills, the easier it will be to slice neatly.
Garnishing and Serving
Once your cheesecake has had ample time to chill and set beautifully, it’s time for the grand finnon-alcoholic ale – garnishing! This is where you can really make your cheesecake look as stunning as it tastes. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. If you lined the bottom with parchment paper, you can easily slide the cheesecake onto a serving plate.
Now for the drizzly goodness! Gently warm the 100g of Nutella for drizzling. You can do this by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and heating it in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s pourable but not hot. Alternatively, you can place the bowl of Nutella over a pot of simmering water (a double boiler method) until it reaches a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the warmed Nutella artfully over the top of your cheesecake.
Next, add the decorative elements. Arrange the 6 whole Oreos around the top of the cheesecake. For an extra touch of crunch and chocolatey goodness, sprinkle the 5 crushed Oreos (the ones without filling, for a more intense Oreo flavor without added sweetness) over the top of the drizzled Nutella and around the whole Oreos. This adds both texture and visual appeal.
Slice your No-Bake Oreo Nutella Cheesecake into generous wedges using a sharp knife. For the cleanest slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry between each cut. Serve immediately and watch as your guests rave about this unbelievably delicious and easy dessert. Enjoy every decadent bite!
