Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this chocolatey masterpiece:

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate hazelnut cookies (like Nutella Biscuits or similar)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup hazelnuts, chopped
• 8 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chopped (more for garnishing)

Directions

1. Prep the Crust:

   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
   • In a medium bowl, mix the crushed chocolate hazelnut cookies with melted butter until well combined. It should resemble damp sand.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch round springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.

2. Make the Filling:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy (about 3-5 minutes). No lumps allowed here!
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until velvety.
   • In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form (think clouds!). Gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

3. Add the Hazelnuts:

   • Mix in the chopped hazelnuts and chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates, saving a few for garnish.

4. Assemble:

   • Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula, and don’t worry if it’s not perfect—this cheesecake will still taste divine!
   • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight if you can resist the temptation.

5. Serve it Up:

   • When ready to serve, carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with the remaining Ferrero Rocher chocolates and maybe even a drizzle of chocolate sauce if you’re feeling extra indulgent.

Cooking Tips for Your Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake

• Soften Your Cream Cheese: If you forget to take the cream cheese out of the fridge early, just cut it into smaller squares and let it sit out for 10 minutes. They’ll soften a bit quicker!
• Whipping Cream: When whipping the cream, watch closely—stopping too early can lead to a flatter cheesecake, but over-whipping can lead to butter (not the ideal cheesecake topping).
• No Springform Pan? No Problem!: You can use a regular pie dish; just note it might be a bit trickier to slice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the cream cheese?

Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered securely. It should last for about 3-4 days. That is, if you can resist devouring it all in one go!

Absolutely! Just opt for gluten-free chocolate hazelnut cookies for the crust, and you’re all set.
