Nutella Cheesecake Square
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking pan with parchment paper.
-
Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella onto the cream cheese mixture, then swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the Nutella layer.
-
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
-
Whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Serve the Nutella Cheesecake Square chilled, topped with whipped cream.
