Ingredients

• 250 grams Chocolate sandwich cookies
• 80 grams Unsalted butter
• 500 grams Cream cheese
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 150 milliliters Heavy cream
• 200 grams Hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)
• 150 grams Dark chocolate
• 50 grams Roasted hazelnuts
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter and mix it thoroughly with the cookie crumbs until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan, creating an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the heavy cream, hazelnut spread, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Continue beating until all ingredients are fully combined and the texture is smooth.

Step 6

Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until completely smooth.

Step 7

Divide the filling mixture in half. Stir the melted dark chocolate into one half and leave the other half plain hazelnut-flavored.

Step 8

Remove the crust from the refrigerator. Pour the chocolate filling onto the crust, spreading it out evenly. Then pour the plain hazelnut filling on top, smoothing it with a spatula to ensure an even layer.

Step 9

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.

Step 10

Before serving, chop the roasted hazelnuts and sprinkle them over the top of the cheesecake for garnish. Optional: drizzle with additional hazelnut spread or melted chocolate for extra indulgence.

Step 11

Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy!
