Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 24 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
• Whipped cream and whole hazelnuts for garnish

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
• In a bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the Nutella and heavy cream in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
• Gradually add the Nutella mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined.
• Fold in the chopped hazelnuts.
• Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
• Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and whole hazelnuts, if desired.
