No Bake Nutella Cookie Crust Double Chocolate Cheesecake
You can’t always make people happy all of the time! So when my youngest daughter, the Nutella Queen insisted that I hadn’t made anything Nutella related in a while, I kind of had to agree.
But what? You can only Stuff it in so many things. My mind was hard at work. And since we were having friends over for dinner and they are my perfect guinea pigs, I thought they would be happy to try my new creation!
Double Chocolate Cheesecake
They absolutely love cheesecake. One of our friends is an amazing cook who was also telling me that he has no luck with making desserts. Once he made a cheesecake with 12 eggs! What?
That wasn’t a cheesecake it was a frittata! Haha, he said it weighed a ton.
No need to fret, I have no eggs in this No Bake Nutella Cookie Crust Double Chocolate Cheesecake . But I do have an amazing crust, I decided that instead of using the usual cookie and butter crust or Oreo cookie crust, which, ok don’t hate me, is not my favourite, I would switch it up a bit.
And so I made a cookie crumb Nutella crust. Worked like a charm. All you have to do is place some Nutella in a bowl, place it over a pot with some water (make sure the water does not touch the plate).
Let the water boil on low and this will thin it up within 10 minutes. Mix them together and there you have a crust that you’ll love! They were made for each other.
I thought a nice white creamy cheesecake would be a perfect companion with a semi sweet chocolate topping, and I was right.
The first time I made these bars back in July 2015 my daughter and friends in Italy loved them, and since I have re made these No Bake Nutella Cookie Crust Double Chocolate Cheesecake Bars a few times in the last week I can honestly say they were an even bigger hit! Enjoy!

Oh, my, that looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Well, my goodness, that looks amazing! Thanks so much for taking the time to link up with us over at the #HomeMattersParty – we hope to see you again on Friday!
Wow!!! This looks delicious! 😀 I’m sold on anything to do with Nutella too! 🙂 I love that you didn’t add gelatin into the no bake cheesecake… it looks so creamy and I can’t wait to try this! Thank you for linking up at #SaucySaturdays!!
looks dreamy! 🙂 Cool how you invented this recipe without any other reference, well done! 🙂
This Cheesecake looks amazing! No eggs…what? I am obsessed with Nutella. My daughter brought it home from France and refused to share. I really didn’t mind. But now that I’ve had some of the good stuff? It’s not same in my house! Beautiful dessert!
This looks sooo good! And given my lifelong devotion to nutella, I think I will have to give these a go soon! Thanks for linking up at #Saucy Saturdays
Your daughter had the right kind of idea! I love anything with nutella, and when you are mixing it with cheesecake?? Genius! (Also, I can’t imagine a cheesecake with 12 eggs!!)
Thanks Cathleen, my daughter inspires me with her love for Nutella.
Yes!!! This is amazing! I’m always looking for new ways to have nutella, me and your daughter would get on well haha! Gotta try these
This looks awesome. I love Nutella, too. #SaucySaturday
I have a nutella queen, too! She will adore this. And she’s not the only one 😉 Thanks for linking to #SaucySaturdays.
I absolutely love this recipe! I want a slice right now! Nutella and cheesecake…two of my favorites! I am so glad you shared it with us at #FoodieFriDIY! Pinning and sharing!
Great idea!! We love Nutella and we have a large container of Nutella — it is a staple in our house. I’ve caught Hubby sneaking into the jar with his spoon 🙂 That Nutella crust would be great with other fillings too. My mind is whirling with possibilities!! Gracie and Buona Giornata!
OMG! We don’t keep nutella in the house because we simply eat it straight from the jar. Well, guess I’ll be buying some now. This recipe looks great. I especially like the idea of a “nutella” crust. I would think we could substitute any filling. You are just simply amazing.
Hi Ann, Thanks so much, and I am sure you substitute any filling, let me know what you whip up!
Your friends were some lucky guinea pigs–these bars look insane!
Thanks so much, they are great they will try anything once.
