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.

Oh how I want one of these right now!!
I would absolutely love to try this recipe. However, I prefer not to use frozen whipped topping. Years ago I read that one of the ingredients listed in it was carnuba. I don’t know if that’s still one of the ingredients in the product. Could you please suggest how I might make it with real whipping cream? Thank you for all of your posts.
holy moly! this look amazing. i wonder what happen if you swapped out the nutella for some speculoos? speculoos cheesecake? both sounds heavenly!
Jaime, thanks for the lovely recipe! I like the new look of your blog, too. Did you know that Nutella from other countries is a different formula than we get in the US?
I live not too far from Manhattan. I’m lucky enough to live near an Italian food shop where I can get European Nutella. It’s less sweet than the American kind, I think.
I made 4 glasses. They’re chilling in the fridge right now. I’m thinking that gingerbread cookies might make a great base too.
I didn’t take the time to pipe it into the glasses, but it still looks pretty. I have chocolate, nut no hazelnuts or extra whipped cream for topping. I guess I’ll just have to suffer through. : ) I’m thinking this would also be good with fresh raspberries or a drizzle of raspberry puree, or a whipped cream flavored with a little rum or cognac.
I have a spare jar of Nutella in my pantry, too. That jar has Nutella cheesecake written all over it:) Thanks for sharing!
I made this last night and it’s delicious! For those of you who wanted to make it in a single pan instead of individual glasses, I used a loaf pan and that was a good size for a single batch of the recipe. Instead of putting it in the fridge for 2 hrs put it in the freezer for about an hour and it came out perfect. Next time I will try it without the crust because I think it would be a great mousse, and would be a good dessert when I’m looking for something a little less rich. Thanks Jamie!
Ivy-
