- ¼ cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder

How to Make It
1. Prepare the Chocolate Cookie Crust
Place the Oreo cookies and chocolate butter biscuits in a food processor.
Blend until they become fine, dark chocolate cookie crumbs.
Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the melted butter.
Stir until evenly combined and the mixture resembles damp sand.
Pour the mixture into an 8-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper.
Press firmly into the bottom to create a thick, compact, even crust.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes while preparing the cheesecake filling.
2. Make the Creamy Nutella Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, softened cream cheese, and Nutella.
Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed until smooth, thick, and creamy.
Sift the powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder into the mixture.
Mix gently until fully incorporated and the filling becomes rich, chocolatey, and velvety.
Avoid overmixing to maintain a thick, stable cheesecake texture.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake
Remove the chilled chocolate cookie crust from the refrigerator.
Spoon the Nutella cheesecake filling over the prepared crust.
Spread evenly with a spatula, making sure the filling reaches the edges of the pan.
Smooth the surface with an offset spatula to create a beautiful, even layer.
4. Chill Until Firm
Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
This allows the filling to firm up and develop its rich chocolate hazelnut flavor.
5. Prepare the Glossy Nutella Topping
Place the Nutella and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in short 10–15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
Allow it to cool slightly so it is pourable but not hot.
6. Add the Nutella Topping
Remove the chilled cheesecake from the refrigerator.
Pour the warm, glossy Nutella mixture over the cheesecake filling.
Gently tilt the pan or use an offset spatula to spread the topping into a smooth, even layer.
For a beautiful bakery-style finish, sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies around the outer edge, leaving the center glossy and smooth.
Refrigerate for another 30–60 minutes until the topping is set.
7. Slice and Serve
Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wiped clean between cuts for beautiful, neat slices.
Serve chilled and enjoy the delicious layers of crunchy chocolate cookie crust, thick Nutella cheesecake filling, and silky chocolate hazelnut topping.
Helpful Tip: Use full-fat cream cheese and mascarpone for the richest, creamiest cheesecake. For cleaner slices and a firmer texture, refrigerate the finished cheesecake overnight before serving.
