Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 1 ½ cups finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (280g) Nutella hazelnut spread
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Optional toppings: chopped toasted hazelnuts, mini chocolate chips or shavings, flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form (about 1 ½ cups). Alternatively, crush in a plastic bag with a rolling pin until fine but with some texture.
  2. Combine crushed Oreos and melted butter in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish to form an even ¼ inch thick crust. Chill in the fridge.
  3. Whip the cold heavy cream in a chilled bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.
  4. Beat softened cream cheese, Nutella, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture using a spatula to keep it light and fluffy.
  6. Pour the filling over the chilled Oreo crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle with optional toppings like chopped toasted hazelnuts, chocolate shavings, or flaky sea salt. Run a knife around the pan edges before releasing the springform for clean slices.

Notes

Softened cream cheese at room temperature is key for smooth filling. Whip cream to soft peaks only to maintain lightness. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Chill cheesecake at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Let sit 5-10 minutes at room temperature before slicing for cleaner cuts.
