Why We Love This

It’s the perfect blend of Nutella and cheesecake packed into a cookie crust. The entire recipe is so easy to follow, and the cream cheese mixture is packed with flavor.

Ingredients

Ingredients for cheesecake - oreo cookies, butter, cream cheese, nutella, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, whipped topping.

Crust

  • Oreo Cookies. Regular Oreo Cookies, not double stuffed.
  • Unsalted butter. Make sure to use real butter.

Cheesecake

  • Cream Cheese. Softened at room temperature.
  • Chocolate Hazelnut Spread. Nutella is our brand of choice, and it always turns out great.
  • Cocoa Powder. I prefer to use Hershey’s.
  • Powdered Sugar. Sift the powdered sugar before using to remove any lumps.
  • Whipped Topping. Cool Whip or Homemade Whipped Cream work great.

Topping

  • Chocolate Hazelnut Spread. You will need another jar of Nutella to make the topping since the cheesecake takes an entire jar.
  • Whipped Cream. This is for serving and optional.

Step by Step Instructions

Cookie crumbs in food processor.

Step 1. Crush the cookies. Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor. Or place them in a Ziploc bag and bash with a rolling pin.

Melted butter mixed with cookie crumbs.

Step 2. Combine cookie crumbs with butter. Mix the crushed cookies with melted butter.

Cookie mixture pressed into pie plate.

Step 3. Spread the crumbs into a pie plate. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. I like to use the bottom of a glass cup for this. Place in the fridge as you make the filling. This will help it set as you work on the pie crust.

Nutella and cream cheese combined together in a bowl.

Step 4. Combine the cream cheese and Nutella. Beat together the room temperature cream cheese and chocolate Hazelnut spread in a bowl. Use a stand or hand mixer until the mixture is smooth. 

Cocoa powder and powdered sugar combined into Nutella mixture.

Step 5. Add the cocoa powder and sugar. Mix in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar.  Mix until combined and smooth. 

Nutella mixture combined together until smooth.

Step 6. Fold in the whipped cream carefully. Gently stir in the whipped topping by hand until just combined. Do not use a mixer to add this ingredient.

Step 7. Spread the filling into pie crust. Pour the filling into the chilled Oreo crust.  Try to spread the filling evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours.

Step 8. Garnish the Pie. Melt the Nutella in the microwave and drizzle on top of cheesecake. Decorate with dollops of the whipped cream. Then slice and enjoy.

Storage

Refrigerate the leftovers covered for up to 6 to 7 days total time. This recipe stores easily making it perfect to make in advance. We love to do this for parties and special occasions.

Can You Freeze?

Yes, this cheesecake freezes very easily. Wrap the plain cheesecake without any toppings in plastic wrap. Then wrap again in aluminum foil.

Place inside a freezer container that is airtight.

Freeze up to 6 weeks. When ready to serve, allow the cheesecake to thaw overnight in the fridge. Then slice as normal and garnish with whipped cream and toppings.

Pro Tips

  • Room Temperature Cream Cheese. Make sure this has been softened at room temperature to make it easier to combine and a smoother texture. You do not want the texture lumpy.
  • Block of Cream Cheese. Make sure that you use a block of cream cheese and not the spread in this recipe.
  • Type of pan. We used a regular pie dish and it turned out great. However, you can also use a springform pan if you prefer.
  • Allow to completely set in the fridge. The cheesecake filling needs at least 4 hours to set before slicing. If you attempt to slice this sooner, it will be hard to cut and look messy.
  • Crust. Swap out the Oreo Crust for a regular graham cracker crust if you prefer.
  • Press the crust into the pan with a glass. Use the bottom of a glass to gently press the crust into the pan. This will ensure it is smooth and even.

Topping Ideas

  • Whipped Cream. This is so delicious and one of my favorite toppings.
  • Nutella. Warm Nutella and drizzle on the cheesecake for even more hazelnut flavor.
  • Chocolate curls or chunks. Add more chocolate flavor to the slices by topping with chocolate for a tasty garnish.
  • Powdered Sugar. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top. The contrast is pretty with the dark filling.
  • Chocolate drizzle. Enhance the flavor with chocolate sauce on top of each slice.
  • Fresh berries. Top with raspberries or strawberries for a pretty and delicious topping.
  • Crushed Candy. If you are feeling decadent, add crushed Ferrero Rocher candy on top. Another idea is to place whole Ferrero Rocher candies on each slice.

If you do not plan to serve this right away, wait to garnish with toppings.
