Ingredients

Crust

  • 250 g (about 24–26 cookies) Oreos
  • 60 g (¼ cup) melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 500 g (2 cups) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 300 g (1 cup) Nutella
  • 250 g (1 cup) heavy whipping cream, at least 35% fat
  • 30 g (¼ cup) powdered sugar

Topping

  • 100 g (⅓ cup) Nutella, melted
  • 150 g (½ cup) Nutella, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush the whole Oreos, including the cream, in a food processor until finely ground. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a square pan. Chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese with 300 g Nutella using a spatula until smooth and completely combined. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella and cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Assemble the Layers: Spread half of the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the surface carefully. Melt 100 g Nutella and spread it gently over this first cheesecake layer, creating a thin ribbon or middle layer. Add the remaining cheesecake filling on top and smooth the surface evenly.
  4. Chill the Cheesecake: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 8 hours or overnight until it is completely firm and set.
  5. Decorate and Serve: Melt the remaining 150 g Nutella and pour it over the set cheesecake, tilting the pan gently to spread it evenly. Refrigerate or freeze for about 10 minutes to set the Nutella topping. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan and slice into squares using a sharp knife. For clean edges, wipe and warm the knife between each cut.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth and lump-free filling.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for best texture and richness.
  • You can substitute Oreos with any chocolate sandwich cookies if preferred.
  • Chilling time is important for the cheesecake to set properly; do not skip or shorten.
  • Warm the knife blade to get neat, clean slices and prevent sticking.
