Categories     dessert

Time 7h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
One 9-ounce package chocolate wafer cookies
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
One 12-ounce tub whipped topping
1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Spray a 10-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place all but 6 of the chocolate cookies in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse the cookies in the food processor until finely ground.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground cookies and melted butter and mix to combine. Spread the crushed cookie mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, using the bottom of a metal measuring cup to press into an even layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  • In a stand mixer, whip the cream cheese until softened, about 1 minute. Add the chocolate hazelnut spread and confectioners' sugar and mix on medium-high speed, scraping the bowl occasionally, until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Fold in the whipped topping using a rubber spatula. Transfer to the springform pan. Use a spatula to smooth the mixture in the pan. Top with the chopped hazelnuts. Break 3 of the reserved cookies and press them into the center of the cake, cut-side down, in a starburst shape. Break the remaining cookies into chunks and sprinkle them over the cake. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Unclasp and remove the side of the pan, then cut the cake with a knife dipped in hot water and serve.

### Tips

  • Prepare the Crust First: Begin by making the chocolate cookie crust. This will give it time to set and chill before filling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh hazelnuts and good-quality chocolate.
  • Toast the Hazelnuts: Toasting enhances the flavor and aroma of the hazelnuts. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Cream the Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature and beat it until smooth and creamy. This will help ensure a lump-free cheesecake filling.
  • Gradually Add Sugar: Add the sugar to the cream cheese mixture gradually, beating well after each addition.
  • Incorporate Eggs One at a Time: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Add Hazelnut Paste and Chocolate: Gently fold in the hazelnut paste and melted chocolate until just combined.
  • Pour Filling Over Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared chocolate cookie crust.
  • Bake and Cool: Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven until the center is almost set. Let it cool completely before refrigerating.
  • Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the cheesecake to set properly.
  • Garnish and Enjoy: Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with additional chopped hazelnuts, chocolate shavings, or whipped cream.
