Nutella Oreo Cheesecake

So its been a while since i blogged. but i thought id share wit h you something amazing.

What your going to need:

2 1/2 cups Oreo crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

2 eggs, at room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon heavy cream

1 vanilla bean, halved and seeds scraped (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)

1/3 cup Nutella

Maltesers (optional)

How to:

Preheat oven to 160°c. 

Butter a spring form dish/tin (or 8×8 baking dish can be square or circle) and line with greaseproof paper, making sure that the paper is well pressed in. Set aside.

In a food processor, pulse Oreos until they become crumbs. Take 2 cups of the crumbs (set the other cup aside) and add in melted butter and pulse until moistened.  Press Oreo mixture evenly into the bottom of your baking dish.  Bake crust until set, about 12 minutes.  Set aside to cool.

Clean out the food processor. Add cream cheese, eggs, sugar, ¼ cup heavy cream, and vanilla. Pulse until smooth.  

Put 2/3 of the cream cheese mixture in a bowl and set aside, add the remaining ½ cup of Oreo crumbs and vanilla and mix until combine.   

Add Nutella and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream to the remaining 1/3 cream cheese mixture in the processor.  Pulse until smooth.

To assemble, spread the white and Oreo crumb cheesecake mixture over the cooled Oreo crust, being careful of the crust. Then pour the Nutella cheesecake layer on top of the white layer and spread evenly, they should be thick enough so they don’t mix.  

Bake on the center rack of the oven for about 35 minutes, or until the centre jiggles slightly.  Remove from the oven and cool completely on a cooling rack. While cheesecake is cooling down, place your Maltesers on top and press them in slightly. Then once fully cool refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

When ready to serve, release the spring form tin/dish and cut into slices or squares. You’ll need to get a glass full of hot water to dip your knife in to cut each slice. 

Enjoy!
