About this Recipe
A cheesecake is a sweet dessert with one or more layers. The main and thickest layer is made up of a soft, fresh cheese (usually cottage cheese, cream cheese, or ricotta), eggs, and sugar. If there is a bottom layer, it is usually made of crushed cookies (or digestive biscuits), graham crackers, pastry, or sometimes sponge cake. Cheesecake can be made either baked or unbaked (and is usually refrigerated).
Cheesecake is typically sweetened with sugar and can be flavoured in a variety of ways. The main cheese layer can be flavoured with vanilla, spices, lemon, chocolate, pumpkin, or other flavours. Topping the finished dessert with fruit, whipped cream, nuts, cookies, fruit sauce, chocolate syrup, or other ingredients can add additional flavours and visual appeal.
What is Nutella?
Nutella is a brand of sweetened cocoa hazelnut spread. Nutella was invented in 1964 by the Italian company Ferrero, though its first iteration dates back to 1963.

This is a pretty easy to make cheesecake. You just need a handful of ingredients to make this. The more cool thing is you don't need cream cheese to make this cheesecake. So you can easily call this recipe as cheese cake without cream cheese. I used hung curd to make this, i took some thick yogurt and poured in some cheesecloth lined over a sieve and put it in fridge and let it drip overnight, the next day i got the beautiful thick hung yogurt which can be easily substituted for cream cheese.
Ingredients for No Bake Nutella Cheesecake Recipe :
Cream Cheese :
Cream cheese is a fresh, soft, smooth-tasting cheese made with cream or a milk-cream mixture. It has a mild, sweet flavour with a pleasant tang. It is smooth and spreadable (at room temperature), and can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Nutella :
Nutella is simply the offspring of chocolate and hazelnut, a delicious mash-up of the two flavours. It has a sweeter.
Unsalted Butter :
Unsalted butter allows you to completely control the flavour of your recipe. This is especially important in baked goods that rely heavily on the pure, sweet cream flavour of butter (butter cookies or pound cakes). When it comes to cooking, unsalted butter allows the true, natural flavour of your foods to shine through.
This cheesecake is so creamy and has crunchy bits of nuts all over the top. This has a buttery biscuit as the base and a luscious creamy filling. Really yummy. Hope you will try this out and let me know how it turns out for you.
