The Secrets to this Creamy Nutella Cheesecake
- First of all, you will need a good springform pan. I like the pans with a glass bottom because I have found that the cheesecake is so much easier to remove from the pan.
- Although water baths are an excellent method for baking a cheesecake, I personally don’t use the water batch method. I place a cake pan full of water on the rack below the cheesecake. This prevents the cheesecake from cracking and results in a creamy luscious cheesecake.
- After the cheesecake has finished baking, turn off the oven and crack the door open for an hour. This method allows the cheesecake to gently cool down to room temperature and keeps the cheesecake creamy and prevents the harsh cracking.
How To Make Nutella Cheesecake
First, the oven needs to preheat to 325 F degrees.
While the oven is preheating, finely crush the chocolate graham crackers using a food processor. You will want the graham
Next, mix the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl. I use a fork and ensure that there are no clumps and all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Then, dump the graham cracker mixture into a springform pan and press the graham crackers firmly on the bottom of the pan and halfway up the sides.

Pop that bad boy in the oven and bake for ten minutes, then remove from the oven and kick the heat up to 350 F degrees. Place a cake pan full of water on the bottom rack in the oven.

First, beat the cream cheese until super creamy and smooth. Then add in the sugar, vanilla, and salt and continue mixing until well blended.
Next, mix in the sour cream and mix until smooth. Now blend in the Nutella until smooth.
Slowly add in one egg at a time and mix until just blended. Don’t overbeat on this step.

Pour the creamy Nutella Cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust and then place it in the oven on the rack above the water-filled cake pan.
Bake the Nutella Cheesecake for 60 minutes at 350 F degrees. Do not open the door while the cheesecake is cooking.
At the end of the 60 minutes, turn off the oven and crack the door open. I slide a wooden spoon into the opening of the oven to keep it propped open. Let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 60 more minutes.
Now remove the Nutella Cheesecake from the oven and let cool to room temperature for approximately three hours. Then cover and chill in the fridge for at least six hours or overnight preferably.
