With its perfect three-layered contrast—featuring a crunchy biscuit base, a light and airy cream cheese filling with gorgeous marbled Nutella ripples, and a silky, glossy layer of pure Nutella on top—every single bite is an absolute dream.
The best part? It is surprisingly simple to make and requires zero baking time! Let’s make it together!
Step 1: Pressing and Setting the Base
Ingredients:
300g Dark chocolate cookie crumbs
150g Melted butter (⅔ cup)
Instructions:
Pour the mixture of 300g crushed cookie crumbs and 150g melted butter into a square baking pan lined with parchment paper. Press the mixture down firmly and evenly using your hands or a spatula until it forms a solid, flat, and compact layer. Place the pan in the freezer for about 15 minutes to set completely before adding the filling.
Step 2: Adding Agar Agar and Milk
Ingredients:
500g Cream cheese (at room temperature)
4g Agar agar powder
120ml Whole milk
Instructions:
In a large bowl, make sure your 500g of cream cheese is softened and slightly whipped. Slowly pour the warm mixture of 120ml whole milk and 4g of dissolved agar agar powder into the cream cheese while whisking continuously until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Folding in the Whipped Cream
Ingredients:
300ml Heavy whipping cream (whipped beforehand)
Instructions:
Gently add the 300ml of whipped heavy cream into your cream cheese mixture. Using a spatula, fold the whipped cream carefully from bottom to top until completely combined. This keeps the cheesecake filling light, fluffy, and airy.
Step 4: Pouring the Filling Over the Base
Ingredients:
The prepared creamy cheesecake filling
The chilled cookie base (from Step 1)
Instructions:
Take the square pan with the chilled cookie base out of the freezer. Gently transfer and pour the smooth, creamy cheesecake filling directly over the compact dark base using your spatula. Spread it out evenly to prepare for the next layer
Step 5: Adding Nutella Swirls Inside
Ingredients:
5 tbsp Nutella
Instructions:
Pipe or drop about 5 tablespoons of Nutella directly onto the smooth cream cheese filling layer. Using a knife or a wooden skewer, gently swirl the Nutella into the filling to create a beautiful marbled or swirled effect throughout the cake.
Step 6: The Final Nutella Topping
Ingredients:
300g Nutella (smooth or slightly melted)
Instructions:
After the cheesecake layer has chilled and set slightly, pour 300g of smooth Nutella evenly over the top surface. Use a spatula to smooth it out into a perfect, glossy coating. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator or freezer for a few hours until completely set. Slice into squares using a warm, sharp knife, and serve!
