I wasn’t too sure whether I should call this new devilish creation of mine a Nutella Cheesecake or a Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake…
After all, Ferrero Rochers are nothing but a grand, palatial celebretion of Ferrero’s Nutella, and this cake gives absolute pride of place to both treats. So I decided that it was going to proudly take both its originators’ names, and so it officially became Mr. Ferrero Rocher Nutella Cheesecake. (I’m not too sure about the mister thing, but it definitely deserves the appellation!)
For starters, unlike many recipes out there, this cake uses A LOT of the dreamy chocolate hazelnut spread, so it doesn’t get lost in a sea of other ingredients. The Nutella here is abundant, it’s in the crust, it’s in the filling AND it’s in the topping… it’s totally everywhere, and you can most definitely taste it.

Ingredients

• FOR THE CRUST
• 2-1/2 cups (290g | 10.1oz) graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup (30g | 1oz) Rice Krispies Cereal, slightly crushed
• 1/2 cup (75g | 2.6oz) roasted hazelnuts, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup (50g | 1.75oz) granulated sugar

Instructions

1. TO MAKE THE CRUST
2. Line the bottom of a 9” springform pan with parchment paper. To do that, remove the ring and cover the bottom with parchment paper. Fold the excess paper back under the plate and, while holding it in place with one hand, put the ring back in its position with the other hand. Bring the excess paper back from under the pan but do not cut it off.
3. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, Rice Krispies, chopped hazelnuts and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
