How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making this scrumptious cheesecake!
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to mix until well combined. Then, add the Nutella and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is creamy and delicious.
- Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture until fully incorporated. This will give your cheesecake that light and airy texture!
- Combine: Pour the Nutella filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled, perhaps with a drizzle of extra Nutella or some fresh berries on top!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your cheesecake turns out perfectly:
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Don’t skip the chilling time; it’s essential for the cheesecake to set properly.
- If you want to add a twist, try mixing in some chopped hazelnuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for a gourmet touch!
- For a fun presentation, consider using individual serving cups instead of a springform pan.
How to Serve
This cheesecake is incredibly versatile! Here are some serving suggestions:
- Pair it with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat.
- Serve it alongside your favorite creamy garlic pasta for a decadent dinner experience.
- Top with fresh fruit or chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
- It’s also a fantastic dessert for potlucks or family gatherings—everyone will be asking for the recipe!
Make Ahead and Storage
This cheesecake is perfect for making ahead of time! Here’s how to store it:
- Keep the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- If you want to make it even further in advance, you can freeze it! Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.
- To thaw, simply place it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
