Can I use a different type of biscuit for the base?

Yes! You can experiment with different types of biscuits, such as Oreos or graham crackers, to create a unique flavor for your cheesecake base.

How long does the cheesecake need to chill?

It’s best to chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, but if you can, leaving it overnight will help it set even better.

Can I make this cheesecake without Nutella?

Absolutely! You can use any chocolate spread of your choice or make a chocolate cheesecake filling using melted chocolate.

What’s the best way to cut the cheesecake?

Use a sharp knife, and wipe it clean with a damp cloth between each cut for smooth slices. You can also dip the knife in hot water before cutting for even cleaner slices.

Can I add more Ferrero Rocher as a topping?

Yes! Feel free to add as many Ferrero Rocher chocolates as you like. They not only make the cheesecake look attractive, but they also provide an extra crunch and flavor.

No-Bake Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake

Description

This No-Bake Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake is a decadent dessert combining Nutella, cream cheese, and Ferrero Rocher chocolates on a buttery biscuit base. It’s rich, creamy, and perfect for special occasions—without needing to turn on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

350g digestive biscuits, crushed
180g salted butter, melted
300ml double cream, cold
500g cream cheese, room temperature
100g icing sugar
250g Nutella
100g dark chocolate
100ml double cream (for ganache)
25g chopped hazelnuts
8 Ferrero Rocher (optional, for decoration)
Optional Add-Ons:
Fresh raspberries or strawberries (for topping)
Dark or white chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Espresso or coffee liqueur (to enhance flavor)

Instructions

Line the base of a springform pan with parchment paper.
Mix the crushed digestive biscuits with melted butter until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the base of the pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, whip the cold double cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the Nutella until fully incorporated.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Pour the filling over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
For the ganache, heat 100ml of cream until steaming, then pour over the chopped dark chocolate. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
Pour the ganache over the set cheesecake and spread evenly.
Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts and decorate with Ferrero Rocher. Add optional toppings like fruit or chocolate shavings if desired.
Chill again for 30 minutes before serving to set the ganache.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for best results and stability.
Ensure the double cream is cold before whipping.
Cheesecake sets better if chilled overnight.
Ferrero Rocher can be halved or chopped for easier slicing.
