Nutella Cheesecake - easy no-bake cheesecake loaded with Nutella and hazelnut. Creamy, rich, the best Nutella Cheesecake recipe ever, by Nigella Lawson.
This is the famous Nigella’s Nutella Cheesecake. If you are a fan of nutella, you need to try out this Nutella Cheesecake recipe. Nutella really does make a regular cheesecake so much more better!
What I love most about this Nutella Cheesecake is the chopped toasted hazelnuts that give each bite a nice crunch and texture. There is no egg in the recipe, so there is no need to bake.
Just beat the cream cheese and sugar, and chill everything in the fridge for a few hours and you have this sinfully delicious Nutella cheesecake.

Hi, how long can the cake keep for? :)
Just made this for Father’s day. Based on reviews I thought it wouldn’t set up but it came out perfectly. The taste was good however I wish it had a stronger Nutella flavor. I used pistachios instead of hazelnuts. I also added sliced strawberries to the top. Overall all easy to make and delicious! Thank you! :)
Hi Lori, great idea. I like that you used pistachio and strawberry. Yummy!
Hey, this looks amazing. Is there a good way to incorporate raspberries/any suggestions for how I could? Thanks!
I guess you can add some raspberry into the cheesecake mixture.
Hello, I’ve made this cheesecake twice now and both times, it turned out great! My only question was both times I ended up with a lot more of the digestive base compared to the filling. Any reason why that might be happening? Thanks! :)
Hi Lyd…not sure why. The cheesecake part is always thicker than the base. You need to press the base harder so they are compact.
Hi, I used your lovely recipe on my no-bake roundup. I hope that is ok with you – I linked back to your post. Please let me know if that’s ok :)
Hi Marina, of course. :)
Looks good enough, I will try it!!!
The crust did not happen for me. I keep thinking the butter had to be melted and not softened. Also the time for it to chill on the fridge, how many minutes should that be? Other than that, it is very tasty. I added a nutella/chocolate syrup on top and served it with fresh strawberries and raspberries. DELIECIOUS!
This looks awesome! Getting the stuff to make this ton! For those of you that are having a hard time getting it to set, you might be overbeating your filling…if you overbeat it will become watery and not set well. All you need to do is just combine ingredients..
