Description

A creamy, delicious, no-bake Nutella cheesecake with a hint of banana flavor, perfect for desserts or special gatherings. This luscious recipe requires no oven and minimal effort, making it ideal for any occasion.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Crust:

    • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
    • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

  • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup Nutella
  • 12 bananas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into a 7-9 inch springform pan using the back of a measuring cup to pack it down firmly. Freeze while preparing the filling.
  2. Cream the base mixture: In a bowl, cream together softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth using a hand-held mixer.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a standing mixer, whip the heavy cream until thick and fluffy. Add in vanilla and gently fold it into the cream cheese and sugar mixture to create a smooth filling.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Top with Nutella: Scoop Nutella onto the top of the cheesecake and use a spoon or spatula to gently swirl it around, covering the top.
  6. Chill the cheesecake: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 12 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set.
  7. Optional freezing step: Freeze the cheesecake for 15-20 minutes before serving to make the springform pan release easier and for clean slicing.
  8. Serve with bananas: Top the chilled cheesecake with banana slices for a fresh, fruity touch before serving.

Notes

  • This recipe requires no baking, making it a quick and easy dessert option.
  • To achieve the best texture and flavor, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
  • The cheesecake can be made a day in advance for convenience.
  • The freeze step is optional but helps in achieving cleaner slices and an easier removal from the pan.
