Happy Mother’s Day!
It’s our annual vacation here in Malaysia (and Asia) when Rasa Malaysia kitchen is closed.
The vacation is coming to an end and in a week’s time I will be back to normal posting schedule where more delicious and easy recipes will be posted on Rasa Malaysia.
For right now, let’s celebrate my contributor’s baking recipes.
Recently she shared with us the meyer lemon pound cake, and today, she has these sinfully decadent Nutella Cheesecake Bar.
Just a couple of days ago, I read it that New York gets its first Nutella bar.
In the Nutella bar, you will get Nutella smeared on various baked goods, from brioche to crepes to Nutella sandwiches.
This is a grand idea, especially for people who love Nutella.
For us non-New Yorker, thank goodness that there are endless Nutella recipes online and Rasa Malaysia has quite many popular Nutella recipes.
My contributor CP Choong loves Nutella, and she made these Nutella Cheesecake Bars a couple of weeks ago.
If you love Nutella Cheesecake, you will love Nutella Cheesecake Bars because they are made with Oreo crumbs (as the base), cream cheese, and Nutella.
For sure, I know many kids will love this, and this can be their favorite dessert other than brownies.
Look at the photos, can you resist these square bars of Nutella, Cheesecake, and Oreo deliciousness?
I know I can’t, and I hope you will love them, too.
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!

Nutella Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups Oreo crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz (455g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream, + 1 tablespoon
- 1 vanilla bean, halved and seeds scraped (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- 1/3 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Butter an 8" × 8" (20 x 20 cm) baking dish and line it with parchment paper, ensuring the parchment is well pressed into the corners. Set aside.
- In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until they turn into crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse until the mixture is moistened. Press the Oreo mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake the crust until set, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Clean the food processor, then add the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, ¼ cup of heavy cream, and vanilla. Pulse until smooth. Transfer 2/3 of the cream cheese mixture to a bowl and set aside.
- Add Nutella and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to the remaining 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture in the processor. Pulse until smooth.
- To assemble, spread the plain cheesecake mixture over the cooled Oreo crust, taking care not to disturb the crust. Then, pour the Nutella cheesecake layer on top of the plain cheesecake layer and spread it evenly.
- Bake on the center rack of the oven for about 35 minutes, or until the center jiggles slightly. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a cooling rack. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- When ready to serve, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper (it should release easily). Cut into 16 squares and serve.

Can I double this and bake in 13×9!inch pan? How long would I bake it for?
Yes you can. Just bake the same time.
the nutella mixture was so thick I couldn’t pour it….spooned it over but didn’t cover the whole pan, so I “swirled” it in…. still cooling so don’t know how it is, but doesn’t look anything like the picture. Anyone else have this problem….and how do I solve it?
That’s strange, it shouldn’t be that way. Did you measure everything correctly?
What temperature did you bake the cheesecake?350, or 325?
can i quarter the recipe.?? If so should quarter the timings too..?? Please temme..??
Just making this with Philadelphia & double cream(am in UK ) and cheese mixture is runny having to set in fridge before pouring on Nutella mix ! Or it would all run together !
