Ingredients for the Perfect No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake
- Oreos: Crushed Oreos create a deliciously crunchy base for the cheesecake.
- Melted butter: Helps bind the Oreo crumbs together for a firm and flavorful crust.
- Cream cheese: The star ingredient that gives the cheesecake its creamy texture. Make sure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Nutella: Adds a rich, chocolate-hazelnut flavor to the filling, center layer and topping.
- Powdered sugar: Sweetens the filling without making it grainy.
- Heavy whipping cream (35% fat or more): Whipped to soft peaks, it creates a light and fluffy texture.
Essential Tools for Making No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake
To make this easy no-bake dessert, you’ll need a few basic tools:
- Food processor or rolling pin and ziplock bag: To crush the Oreos for the crust.
- Food scale or measuring cups: For accurate measurements.
- Whisk or electric mixer: To whip the cream and mix the filling.
- Cake pan: A springform pan works best for easy removal.
- Mixing bowls: One for whipping the cream and another for the filling.
- Spatula: For folding the ingredients gently.
Tips for the Perfect No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake
— Don’t overwhip the cream: Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks; it will thicken further when mixed with the other ingredients.
— Room temperature ingredients: Let the cream cheese and Nutella sit at room temperature for easier mixing.
— Cold, clean, and dry bowl: Ensure the bowl for whipping cream is chilled and free of any grease or water.
— Chill overnight: Allow the cheesecake to set in the fridge for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
Common Mistakes and How to Fix Them
Even the best recipes can have hiccups, but don’t worry—I’ve got you covered! Here’s how to fix common issues when making this no-bake Nutella cheesecake:
- Whipping Cream Won’t Thicken?
If your cream isn’t whipping properly, it could be due to a few reasons. First, make sure you’re using heavy cream with at least 35% fat—anything lighter won’t whip well. Second, your bowl and whisk should be cold, clean, and completely dry. Any grease or water can prevent the cream from thickening. Pop your bowl in the fridge for 10 minutes before starting, and you’ll see a big difference! - Grainy Texture?
A grainy texture usually happens when the cream is overwhipped. Stop whipping as soon as you reach soft peaks—the cream will continue to thicken when mixed with the other ingredients. - Lumps in the Filling?
Lumps can form if your cream cheese or Nutella is too cold. To avoid this, let both ingredients sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing. This ensures they blend smoothly into the creamy filling.
With these tips, you’ll have a perfect no-bake Nutella cheesecake every time!

Ingredients
crust
- 200 grams oreos (18 whole oreos)
- 45 grams melted butter
cheesecake filling
- 500 grams cream cheese
- 200 grams Nutella
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 200 grams heavy whipping cream (35% fat)
nutella CENTER
- 150 grams Nutella
decoration

Step-by-Step Instructions for No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake
before starting with this recipe
- Grab a sheet of parchment paper and place it on a flat surface.
- Scoop out 150 grams of Nutella and spread it into a circle on the parchment paper. Make it about the same size as your cake pan, leaving some distance so the Nutella doesn’t escape, and aim for an even layer
- Gently slide the parchment paper with the Nutella into the freezer. Leave it in the freezer until you need it.
1) step one, Prepare the Oreo Crust
Start by crushing the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin and ziplock bag. Mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a pan to create an even crust.
2) step two, Make the Nutella Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine room-temperature cream cheese and Nutella. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend them until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar to soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip the cream, as it will thicken further when mixed with the other ingredients.
3) step three, Combine the Filling
Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella and cream cheese mixture in two separate times. First fold half of the mixture and once it’s almost fully integrated, add the other half. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until fully combined. The filling should be light, fluffy, and smooth.
4) step four, Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour half of the filling into the prepared pan and spread it evenly over the Oreo crust. Add a generous layer of Nutella in the center, (i recommend you freeze a Nutella disk and then add it easily) then top with the remaining filling. Smooth the surface with a spatula to create an even layer.
5) step five, Chill the Cheesecake
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or a baking tray to protect it from any odors or spills in the fridge. Chill the cheesecake for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
6) step six, Decorate with Nutella and Oreos
Once the cheesecake is set, melt some Nutella and drizzle it over the top. Tilt the pan to spread the Nutella evenly. Crush a few Oreos (only the biscuit) and sprinkle them on the sides for a beautiful and delicious finishing touch.
7) step seven, Slice and Serve
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice it into portions. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey goodness of your no-bake Nutella cheesecake!
8) step eight, Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
