Scale
- 3 cups (403g) oreo cookie crumbs (about 35 oreos)
- 5 tbsp (70g) salted butter, melted
- 24 oz (678g) cream cheese, room temperature
- 3/4 cup (155g) sugar
- 3 tbsp (24g) flour
- 2 cups (616g) nutella
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (309g) nutella
- 1/4 cup (43g) semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp (135ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/4 cup (29g) natural unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup (86g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- ferrero rocher candies (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Combine Oreo crumbs with melted butter and press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, allow it to cool, and wrap the pan in aluminum foil for the water bath.
- Lower the oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and flour on low speed until smooth.
- Add Nutella and vanilla to the mixture, continuing to blend on low.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing at a slow speed. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
- Place the springform pan into a larger pan filled with warm water and bake for 90 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the door closed for 30 minutes. Afterwards, crack the door for an additional 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for 5-6 hours or overnight to set properly.
- For the ganache, melt Nutella, chocolate chips, and heavy cream together and pour over the cheesecake.
- Whip the remaining heavy cream with cocoa, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form to decorate the top.
- Finish by adding decorative whipped cream and optional Ferrero Rocher candies.
Notes
Make sure to allow the cheesecake to set for several hours in the fridge for the best texture.
For a lighter texture, ensure that all dairy ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
Use a quality brand of Nutella for the best flavor.
