Light and fluffy Nutella filling tops a sweet Oreo cookie crust in these easy and delicious No-Bake Nutella Cheesecakes. If you love the combination of chocolate and hazelnuts, this recipe is for you!
I don’t know what the weather is like near you, but it is BLAZIN’ hot here in Ohio. Like you don’t even want to go outside hot.
While Ohio is definitely no stranger to the summer heat, it’s been in the 90’s for what seems like weeks.
And when you happen to have a husband that is most comfortable with a thermostat set to 75 during the day, flipping on the oven to make a cheesecake might just not my best choice.
Hello, No Bake Nutella Cheesecake.
No-bake nutella cheesecake recipe
We can never have too many no-bake recipes, right?
I hope you agree, because I sure do love making recipes like this No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake recipe.
Why do I love no-bake cheesecake recipes so much?
- They’re quick and easy – you can even whip them up on a weeknight
- They don’t require me to turn on the oven in the middle of summer
- There are so many variations you can make!
This version combines my love affair with no-bake and my love affair with all things Nutella.
The first time I made No-Bake Nutella Cheesecakes, I whipped them up from ingredients I happened to have on hand in my pantry and fridge. I almost always have a jar of Nutella, a package of Oreos, cream cheese, and frozen whipped topping hanging around.
Between the fluffy Nutella filling and the chocolatey Oreo crust, these cheesecakes are pretty much impossible to resist. I like to top them with extra whipped topping and some chocolate shavings just before serving.
Can I use whipped cream instead of whipped topping?
I know not everyone is a fan of frozen whipped topping and some of you might want to use homemade whipped cream in this recipe instead.
Whipped topping has stabilizers in it that help it hold up when folded into recipes like this one. Since whipped cream does not have any stabilizers in it, I can’t promise that it will hold up as well while the cheesecakes chill before serving.
There are some recipes for making stabilized whipped cream at home, but I personally have not tried using the homemade stuff in my no-bake cheesecake recipes.
Can I make this recipe into one large cheesecake?
I like to make this recipe into individual No-Bake Nutella Cheesecakes by putting them into small serving dishes. Depending on the size dishes I use, I usually get 4-6 servings.
You could even make the servings even smaller for a party by putting them into shot glasses.
But you can also make this into one big cheesecake by putting it into an 8-inch pie plate instead of the individual dishes.

I made these omg. The girls at work loved them too!
I am thinking about making this as a trifle for my husband’s birthday (one big trifle dish). Would you suggest doing anything different in that case? I am not an experienced baker (or non-baker as the case may be) at all so I don’t want to do it and have it be awful! =)
FYI for summer, make these in cupcake liners, freeze, eat! It’s like nutella ice cream. Great recipe.
Hi…can these be made a day or two in advance?
SS-
I think you could definitely make them one day in advance, but I wouldn’t recommend much beyond that. Have a delicious day!

what do you mean by a “frozen whipped topping”????? brand name example please?
ND-
Name brand is Cool Whip and it is found in the freezer section. Thanks for stopping by!
-Jamie
This looks like a great recipe! I’m just wondering if you think vanilla yogurt could be substituted for the whipped topping? I don’t really like oil based products like cool whip as they are so artificial. Do you think it would still have the right consistency?
Thanks!
Hello! Im sitting in class craving nutella and cheesecake and stumbled across this recipe, making it when I get home! And then for my friends birthday.
Thank you for the recipe!
So yummy! Made these for dessert tonight and they were a huge hit with the kids..ages 17, 16, 15, 11 and 6. Will def. be making again!! Thanks for a great recipe!

So happy to hear you enjoyed this recipe – thanks for coming back and sharing your experience.

Hi! I wanted to make this for my cousin for when I visit her in Kansas during the summer, but she has an allergy to peanuts and I read that Nutella is made using peanut oil, so I was wondering if it was possible to substitute the Nutella with something else? I realize that kind of defeats the purpose of the recipe, but I made it for myself and I really enjoyed it, so I want to share this simple recipe with my cousin, even if it won’t taste exactly the same. XD;;
Janie-
You could try using Biscoff Spread – as far as I know, it’s peanut free. Have a great night and thanks for stopping by.

sounds super yummy! I am going to try adding raspberries in and on top :) I am also going to try making it in a pan instead of individual ones (just because I don’t have anything good to make individual ones in). Can’t wait to taste it!!
