Ingredients
Method
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press evenly into the pan and bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
- Create the Nutella Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together Nutella and heavy cream until smooth.
- Assemble the Layers: Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the Nutella mixture on top, then use a knife or toothpick to swirl it into the cheesecake layer.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy the creamy, chocolate-hazelnut goodness!
