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.

Just made this for family meal later on today. Swapped in whipped double cream & it’s delicious. I can see it being a hit!!!
Absolutely fantastic! It was rich and creamy- delicious. And not to mention it was pretty easy to make. Best birthday celebration desert to present as their ‘cake’. Worked really well in a pie pan too, just ground up about 20 Oreos instead of the recommended. Thanks for this fantastic Nutella recipe!
Willow-

Hi, can anyone tell me if this no bake nutella cheesecake can be made without cream cheese can you substitue something else? I am not a cheesecake person , but love to try this out.
I suppose you could try making it with marscarpone instead? I’m not sure it would be as stiff a mixture, but I think it would still taste pretty good.
– Jamie
This looks fantastic! How long can this last in the fridge for? Do u think i can make it 3 days before i serve it? Will it spoil?
Rebecca,
I wouldn’t make it more than 2 days ahead of time. It just won’t keep well beyond that.

Another amazing recipe Jamie. I made this for dessert it was amazing. It’s my new favorite Nutella recipe.
Lisa,

OMG! My daughter will die and go to heaven. She LOVES Nutella and cheesecake! I will share with her after I prepare it for her birthday dinner next week. I always try to surprise her with a nutella inspired dessert instead of a birthday cake! This will fit the bill! Thanks for sharing!
Brenda,
You’re welcome! Please come back and let us know how it turns out. Thank you for following MBA and have a lovely day!

Hi I love in aus we don’t have frozen whipped topping.
Is this just fresh whipped cream or something..??
Thanks.
Hi Kylie,
Sadly, no, whipped topping is nothing like whipped cream. I’ve found that there isn’t really a substitute that can be used outside the United States. I’m sorry about that.
– Jamie
I tried it yesterday for my mum’s birthday. Very delicious :) But next time I would just make the mousse, I don’t need the crust ;)
Stephie,
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the Cheesecakes! Thank you for stopping back and have a wonderful day!

Hi Jamie,
Im from NZ & was wondering what that last ingredient was in the filling?
Thanks, x
Hi Shakaila,
Unfortunately, I’ve found that whipped topping is not available outside of the United States. There isn’t really anything it can be substituted with. I’m sorry about that.

I found this recipe over a year ago, and since then, it’s been my go-to easy, cheap dessert recipe that EVERYONE loves. You just say “nutella” and people go nuts! I use an extra wide frosting tip to pipe the fillings into individual cups (I tried spooning them in, and it was a messier look – I like the cleaner look from using the frosting bags.) I still haven’t figured out how to get my chocolate garnish curls to look as pretty as the picture….but I guess it doesn’t matter that much :) I LOVE this recipe. (Making it tonight and realized I’ve never commented here, but have made it SO many times!)
Oh – and I buy 2 8 oz. containers of cool whip- I use a whole thing for the nutella filling and then pipe on the extra cool whip on top :)
Amanda,
I’m so happy that you love the recipe! Thank you for stopping back to let us know about your experience with the recipe. Have a wonderful day and thank you for following MBA!
