Description
A rich and creamy Ferrero Rocher cheesecake that combines the flavors of chocolate and hazelnuts for a decadent dessert experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup Nutella
- 12 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chopped
- ¼ cup chopped hazelnuts (optional, for garnish)
- Additional Ferrero Rocher chocolates for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Add the Nutella and chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates to the cream cheese mixture, folding gently until evenly distributed.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with chopped hazelnuts and additional Ferrero Rocher chocolates on top.
Notes
- For a chocolatey twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the cheesecake before serving.
- Substitute the chocolate sandwich cookies with graham crackers for a different flavor profile.
