Ingredients

Servings

• 200 gram Digestive biscuits
• 100 gram Hazelnuts
• 100 gram Butter
• 500 gram Cream cheese
• 150 gram Granulated sugar
• 3 unit Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 gram All-purpose flour
• 200 gram Sour cream
• 200 gram Chocolate hazelnut spread

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Crush the digestive biscuits and mix them with crushed hazelnuts and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and flour.

4. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
5. Once cooled, spread sour cream over the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
6. Before serving, decorate with whipped cream and garnish with hazelnuts.
