Now that the holidays are coming around, it is also time to start busting out the chocolates in case you haven’t already. You’ll see a lot of See’s chocolate boxes, but also a lot of Ferrero Rocher platters (or mountains if you’ve seen their most recent commercial). Ferrero Rochers are those hazelnut chocolate candies that nobody seems to dislike. So when thinking of a cheesecake, which I am a sucker for, what better thing to pair a hazelnut chocolate candy with than Nutella! This is also a no-bake cheesecake (well I guess that’s not true since you do bake the crust). But anyways, I found the recipe Ang Sarap, another blog, and I must say that it turned out pretty good. Although his was prettier…not going to lie.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups crushed Oreos (I tried to scrape the frosting out (and eat it) as I found it made crushing them harder)
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

• ~16oz cream cheese, softened
• ⅔ cup powdered sugar
• 3 cups thickened cream or whipped cream, chilled
• 4 tsp unflavored gelatin
• 2 tbsp hot water
• 6 pcs Ferrero Rocher, roughly chopped

• 4 (ore more) tbsp Nutella
• 3 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 8 pcs Ferrero Rocher
• Chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions:

1. Combine Oreos and melted butter, and press it in a 9 in pie pan, spread evenly and packed well
2. Bake 350 degrees for 10 minutes
3. Chill in fridge for around 20 minutes.
4. Place softened cream cheese and sugar in a bowl together; mix with electric mixer until creamy.
5. Dissolve gelatin in hot water then let it cool for a while. Add to the cream cheese mixture, continue to beat until mixture becomes fluffy.
6. Add cream and 6 chopped Ferrero Rocher, then fold until it’s evenly mixed.
7. Pour over the prepared crust.
8. Top it with the Ferrero Rocher and chocolate shavings. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours
9. Using a double boiler, mix the Nutella, powdered sugar and milk until runny (you may need to add more milk)
10. Drizzle melted Nutella on top then serve
11. Enjoy this wonderful dessert!
