No bake KitKat Cheesecake, easy recipe!

Recipe by Archersfood

This no-bake Kit Kat cheesecake is unbelievably creamy, rich, and so easy to make—no oven needed! The combination of Nutella and crunchy Kit Kats creates the most decadent flavor, and trust me, everyone will beg you for the recipe.

  • Total Time8h 30 min
  • Yield10-12

Ingredients

CRUST 

  • 200 grams chocolate biscuits 
  • 50 grams melted butter
  • 50 grams Nutella 

CHEESECAKE FILLING

  • 500 grams cream cheese
  • 200 grams heavy whipping cream (35% fat)
  • 50 grams granulated sugar 
  • 200 grams Nutella 

MIDDLE LAYER

  • 150 grams Nutella 
  • 4 Kit Kats 

DECORATE

  • 150 grams Nutella
  • 4 Kit Kats 

Instructions

  1. Place chocolate biscuits in a food processor and pulse until they form fine, even crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and gradually incorporate the melted butter, stirring until the mixture reaches a uniform “wet sand” consistency that holds together when pressed.
  2. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of your springform pan, using the back of a spoon or measuring cup to create an even, compact layer. Transfer to the freezer.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, gently work the room temperature cream cheese with a rubber spatula until completely smooth and free of lumps. Add the Nutella and fold carefully until fully incorporated.
  4. Using a clean, dry bowl and beaters, whip the cold heavy cream just until soft peaks form – the cream should hold its shape but still appear glossy. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream will continue to thicken when combined with other ingredients.
  5. Gradually fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using broad, gentle strokes with your spatula. Maintain as much air as possible while ensuring full incorporation for the lightest, creamiest texture.
  6. Remove the crust from freezer and spread a thin layer of Nutella over the base. Add half the cheesecake filling, smoothing evenly. Add Nutella and sprinkle with chopped KitKat pieces. Add remaining filling and smooth out. 
  7. Refrigerate the cheesecake for a minimum of 8 hours (preferably overnight) to allow proper setting. This cooling period ensures clean slicing and perfect texture.
  8. Before serving, warm a small amount of Nutella briefly in the microwave for easy spreading. Decorate the top with the melted Nutella and arrange additional chopped KitKat pieces around the edges for visual appeal.
  9. Carefully release the springform pan and use a hot knife (dipped in warm water and dried) to cut clean slices. Serve chilled for best flavor and texture.
