Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 35 Oreo Cookies
  • 5 Tablespoons Butter melted

For the Filling:

  • 32 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 container Nutella 32 ounces
  • 4 Large Eggs room temperature

Add the Toppings:

  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Whipped Cream optional

Instructions

For the Crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9 inch spring foam pan with parchment paper and grease the sides of the pan.
  • Crush the Oreo Cookies in a food processor or blender.  Place in a mixing bowl.  Add the melted butter and mix until well combined.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the pans and slightly up the sides of the pan to form the crust.
  • Bake the crust for 7 minutes.  Then let cool completely at room temperature while you prepare the filling.

How to Make the Cheesecake Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar with a hand held mixer or stand up mixer until well combined.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and Nutella.  Mix until well combined.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, until just combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the cooled crust.
  • Pour the batter into the crust.  Gently tap the pan on the countertop to remove any air bubbles from the batter.
  • Place the cheesecake in the oven in the center and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Then turn the oven temperature down to 200 degrees F but do not remove the cheesecake.
  • Then bake for 1 hour and 20-30 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still jiggly.
  • Then turn the oven off and crack the oven door but do not remove the cheesecake.  Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 15-20 minutes before removing.
  • Then move the cheesecake to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
  • Then chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours but overnight is preferred.

How to Make the Cheesecake Glaze:

  • Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan after the cheesecake has set.
  • Place the cheesecake on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium low heat until it is simmering.  Remove from heat and stir in the Nutella.  Mix until smooth and combined.
  • Immediately pour the glaze over the top of the cheesecake and use a spatula to evenly spread it over the top of the cheesecake and let the glaze run down the sides and edges.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until the glaze is set.
  • Carefully slice and serve topped with the whipped cream and enjoy!

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers, covered, for up to 4 days.
