Ingredients
  

Oreo Crust

  • 20 oreo cookies
  • ¼ cup butter

Cheesecake Layer

  • 20 oz cream cheese
  • ½ cup powdered/confectioner's sugar
  • 4 tablespoon hot water
  • 1 ½ teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1 ½ cup heavy cream
  • cup sugar
  • ¾ cup nutella

Ganache

  • ¾ cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips
  • cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Pulse together oreo cookies and butter until they're clump. Dump the mixture into an 8 inch spring form pan and press it down well. Refrigerate the crust.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar.
  • In a small cup, pour in the hot water and add gelatin. Stir until gelatin is fully dissolved.
  • Pour the thickened gelatin into the cream cheese mixture.
  • In another mixing bowl, whip up heavy cream. Once frothy, add in sugar and continue whipping until you get stiff peaks, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Fold this whipped cream very gently into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Spread ⅔ of the filling onto the refrigerated oreo crust and smooth it out with the help of a spatula.
  • In the remaining filling, mix nutella. Spread this nutella mixture over the first layer of cream cheese. Smooth it out. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at atleast an hour.
  • To prepare the ganache, warm up heavy cream either in a saucepan or microwave.
  • Pour this onto the chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute and then stir until chocolate is fully melted and gets slightly thick.
  • Pour the ganache onto the cheesecake and smooth out with a spatula.
  • Garnish with hazelnuts. Cover with cling film and let refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Slice up and enjoy!

Notes

  • For ganache, make sure to use your favorite good quality chocolate. No compromises there!
