INGREDIENTS

  • Crust

    • 1 1/2 cups OREO crumbs
    • 1/3 cup roasted hazelnuts
    • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt
    • 🧈 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • Filling

    • 🧀 16 ounces cream cheese
    • 🧂 1/2 cup white sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
    • 🥛 3/4 cup heavy cream
    • 🍋 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
    • 1/2 cup Nutella

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9x9-inch square pan with parchment paper and leave overhang on all sides.

2

Combine OREO crumbs, chopped hazelnuts, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground.

3

Add melted butter to the crumb mixture and pulse until evenly moistened. Press mixture into the prepared pan to create a firm crust.

4

Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for 10 more minutes while keeping the oven on.

5

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, white sugar, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg with an electric mixer until smooth. Add heavy cream and lemon juice; beat until combined.

6

Add the egg to the cream cheese mixture and mix until just incorporated. Pour the batter over the crust, spreading it evenly.

7

Microwave Nutella for about 30 seconds until softened. Place dollops of Nutella over the cheesecake filling and gently swirl with a knife.

8

Tap the pan to settle the batter. Bake the bars until the edges turn golden and the center slightly jiggles (35-40 minutes).

9

Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully chilled. Cut into 16 bars.
