Ingredients
Method
Make the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Crush the chocolate cookies in a food processor until they resemble fine crumbs.
- Mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter together in a bowl until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch springform pan and press it firmly into the bottom to form a crust.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, then let it cool.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Fold in the chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
Assemble and Chill
- Pour the cheesecake filling over your cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
Decorate
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Top with whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates, drizzle on chocolate sauce, and sprinkle chopped hazelnuts.
Notes
This cheesecake is even better the next day. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
