No Bake Nutella Cheesecake Ingredients
- No bake Pie Crust--You have several options for the crust with this cheesecake recipe. You can use Graham Cracker crust, or make a variation of that with a Chocolate Oreo Crust, Nilla Wafer Pie Crust, Gingersnap Pie Crust, or even this Homemade Pie Crust.
- Cream Cheese-- Make sure you set your cream cheese out about an hour before you make this cheesecake. The no-bake cheesecake filling will come together much quicker if your cream cheese is at room temperature.
- Whipped Cream--Heavy whipping cream works great in this recipe. Just pour your heavy cream into a bowl and beat for a few minutes until stiff peaks form.
- Powdered Sugar-- this is preferred over granulated sugar. It's light and fluffy and will keep the texture smooth and creamy.
- Nutella-- The Nutella brand works great in this recipe but Costco Nutella is great too. Pretty much any hazelnut spread will work in this recipe.
How to Make Nutella Cheesecake
- Make the graham cracker crumb mixture. In a food processor, grate or pulse cookies or graham crackers until they are crumbs. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and combine with the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- Press into a pie plate. Press the mixture firmly into a 9" pie plate or springform pan using a small flat cup or your hands.
- Bake or freeze. Bake in your preheated oven for 8 minutes, or freeze unbaked for 10- 60 minutes. If baking, allow to cool completely before adding the filling.
- Whip the heavy cream. In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- Make the nutella cheesecake filling. In an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the room temperature cream cheese until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and Nutella to the cream cheese and beat again until fluffy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture, then pour into the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Chill. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve. Enjoy!

You may have also warmed the cream cheese too much. If you use a microwave to soften it, be sure to only heat enough to soften but not melt the cream cheese.
