Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Graham cracker crumbs
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 500 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 250 grams Hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
- 10 grams Gelatin powder
- 50 milliliters Cold water
- 50 grams Chopped hazelnuts (for topping)
- 25 grams Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Dissolve the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom, then microwave for 10-15 seconds until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
Make the cream cheese filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue beating until the mixture is well combined.
Divide the filling: Divide the cheesecake filling into two equal portions. To one portion, add the hazelnut spread and mix until fully incorporated.
Assemble the layers: Pour the plain cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set slightly. Next, pour the hazelnut cheesecake filling on top, spreading it evenly.
Set the cheesecake: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to set completely.
Decorate the cheesecake: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with chopped hazelnuts and chocolate shavings for garnish.
Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy, nutty layers of this indulgent dessert!
