No Bake Nutella Cheesecake.

I love a good cheesecake as much as the next person. Let’s be honest though, sometimes I just don’t have time to bake one, wait for it to cool and then chill it down. That’s exhausting just to think about. Not that it’s not worth it, it is, but sometimes a girl needs a break. A no bake break that is. Can I get an amen?

I’ve been feeling a little disappointed in myself that I haven’t shared a Nutella recipe with y’all since I don’t know when (I know, I know, for shame). I’m rectifying that today. Grab your forks friends, I think you’re going to love this one as much as we did.

How do you make a simple cheesecake?

Did I mention that this creamy dreamy decadent slice of Nutella fork licking goodness it’s no bake? That’s how you make a simple cheesecake.  It couldn’t be easier to pull together. 15 minutes and your stand (or hand) mixer pretty much does all the work. We all need a sous chef and well Ruby my red KitchenAid stand mixer is mine. That is all you need to pull this off. Then simply take that spring form pan, plop it into the fridge and wait for the cold air to work it’s magic.

Plan on making it either the night before or early in the day so she’s ready to go when you’re craving hits.

Feel free to snack on some of the Ferrero Rocher chocolates while you wait. Just don’t eat all of them or your cake will be naked, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Oh who am I kidding, you should just go ahead and buy the large packet of chocolates to be on the safe side.

TIP:  Oh and here’s a bonus tip for you – don’t throw that empty Nutella jar away (yes this recipe uses an entire jar – I never said it was calorie free did I, it’s why I stay on my treadmill), use it to make NUTELLA MILK.  You’re welcome.

    Okay there is NO way this is not delicious. I love no bake cheesecake. It comes out like you labored intensely in the kitchen. I made one last week—a key lime one—for dinner guests. They closed their eyes when they took the bites. Now that is very very very intoxicating to the one who ‘baked’ the cheesecake.

    I am wondering how much heavy whipping cream you use. Your recipe says 1/2 heavy whipping cream. Was that supposed to be a half cup? Thanks!

    The word “nutella” in the title caught my eye and I knew I needed to see this recipe! I haven’t had a nutella cheesecake yet, but it must be amazing!

    We had friends over for dinner and I tried this recipe out. It was very easy to make and ended up being a hit with all who tried it. In other words, I will definitely be making it again and again.

    My only question is, do you think that this recipe could be adapted for mini servings (for example, refrigerated in baking liners in a cupcake tin)?

      Hi Heather! So glad to hear you loved it! Yes, you can absolutely make this into mini servings!
