    This nutella cheesecake is a chocolate lovers dream! It's the perfect date night dessert.

    This Nutella Cheesecake will look amazing on your Christmas table this year. Or on your lap as well. I don’t judge. I hate sounding like a snob, but make sure to use good quality ingredients when making cheesecake at home. It takes a bit of effort and time to make so you want to make sure it’s amazing. I refuse to change my base cheesecake recipe so if you’ve made my other cheesecake recipes in the past then all you have to do is add Nutella and that’s it. 

    You can get fancy and throw a bunch of Ferrero Rocher on top or even frost it with Nutella instead of a chocolate ganache like I did. I do recommend following this recipe to a T because it was incredible. My entire house smelled like Nutella. Everyone loved it. 

    This decadent and delicious nutella cheesecake is totally worth the extra effort it takes to make from scratch.

    Those are my fingerprints on top of the ganache. Shame on me. 

    With or without the chocolate ganache topping, these nutella cheesecake is delicious no matter how you serve it.

    You can serve it like this straight out of the fridge, and it will be delicious but it won’t be as pretty.
