Ingredients:
The Foundation: Creating the Oreo Crust
Let’s start with the base that will hold all this deliciousness together. It’s a classic no-bake cheesecake component that’s both simple and satisfyingly crunchy.
1. Prepare the Crushed Oreos: Take your 200g of Oreos and crush them into fine crum extractbs. You can do this by placing them in a resealable plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin, or by using a food processor. The key here is to get them as fine as possible so they bind well. If you have a few larger chunks, that’s okay, they can add a nice texture.
2. Combine with Butter: In a medium bowl, add the 50g of melted butter to the crushed Oreo crum extractbs. Stir thoroughly until all the crum extractbs are evenly coated with the butter. It should have a texture resembling wet sand. This mixture is what will form our sturdy and delicious crust.
3. Press into Pan: Take a 20-23cm (8-9 inch) springform pan. Pour the Oreo and butter mixture into the bottom of the pan. Using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass, press the crum extractbs down firmly and evenly across the base of the pan. Make sure to create a compact layer. You can even bring the mixture up the sides slightly to create a small rim, if you desire. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling. This chilling time helps the crust set and firm up, ensuring it doesn’t crum extractble when you slice into your cheesecake.
The Heart of the Cheesecake: The Creamy Nutella Filling
Now for the star of the show – the luxuriously smooth and rich cheesecake filling, infused with the irresistible flavour of Nutella.
4. Beat the Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, add the 500g of softened cream cheese. It’s crucial that the cream cheese is at room temperature; this will ensure a smooth, lump-free filling. Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until it’s light and fluffy. Gradually add the 50g of sugar and continue to beat until it’s well incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
5. Incorporate the Nutella: Add the 200g of Nutella to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on low speed initially, then increase to medium speed. Mix until the Nutella is completely incorporated and you have a uniformly hazelnut-chocolate-flavoured cream cheese base. Be careful not to overmix at this stage, especially once the Nutella is in, as this can sometimes lead to a looser filling.
6. Whip the Cream: In a separate, clean bowl, pour in the 200g of heavy whipping cream. Using clean beaters, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters, the cream should stand up straight and hold its shape. This step adds lightness and airiness to the cheesecake filling, making it incredibly decadent.
7. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula and a folding motion, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. You want to maintain as much of the airiness as possible. Continue folding until just combined, ensuring no streaks of cream cheese or whipped cream remain. The goal is a smooth, homogenous, and incredibly airy filling.
Assembling and Swirling with Nutella
This is where we bring everything together and add those beautiful Nutella swirls.
8. Assemble and Swirl: Remove the chilled Oreo crust from the refrigerator. Pour about half of the cheesecake filling over the crust and spread it evenly. Dollop spoonfuls of the 100g of Nutella over this layer. Now, pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top of the Nutella. Gently spread the top layer of filling to cover the Nutella dollops. To create the signature swirls, take a knife or a skewer and gently swirl the Nutella through the top layer of the cheesecake filling. Don’t over-swirl; a few elegant passes will create a beautiful marbling effect. You can also sprinkle the 100g of chopped Oreos over this layer for an extra textural crunch.
Chilling to Perfection
The most important step for any no-bake dessert is patience! This is where the magic happens.
9. Chill and Set: Cover the springform pan tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling time is crucial for the cheesecake to set properly and develop its firm, sliceable texture. Rushing this step will result in a softer, less set cheesecake.
The Finishing Touches: Drizzling and Garnishing
The final flourish that makes this cheesecake truly irresistible.
10. Decorate and Serve: Once the cheesecake has set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Gently warm the 100g of Nutella for drizzling in the microwave for a few seconds until it’s just pourable (be careful not to overheat it). Drizzle the warmed Nutella generously over the top of the cheesecake. Sprinkle the 5 crushed Oreos (no filling) around the edges or over the top for extra texture and flavour. Finally, arrange the 6 whole Oreos on top as a beautiful and fitting garnish. Your stunning No Bake Oreo Nutella Cheesecake is now ready to be admired and devoured! Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts. Enjoy every delightful bite!
