Nutella Cheesecake with Nutella Ganache #WorldNutellaDay

Happy World Nutella Day everyone! As I am sure you have noticed from my latest Round-Up, I already have plenty of recipes that feature Nutella among the ingredients. I grew up eating it and I still love it. And so do my kids, so, World Nutella Day is a day we always celebrate happily. While writing the Round-Up, I was quite shocked to see that among all the recipes I have shared, I still did not have a cheesecake!! So, here I am to rectify such a monstrosity! 😉 Today I will show you how to make Nutella Cheesecake with Nutella Ganache! Yes, it is as amazing as it sounds! Actually, it is my absolute favourite no-bake cheesecake. And that ganache?? Ohhhh, trust me, you won’t be able to resist! Make sure not to skip the toasted hazelnuts on the top… they are essential both in flavour and in texture! This cheesecake is the perfect treat for any Nutella lover.  So, what are you waiting for?  Get that tub of Nutella out of your pantry and let’s celebrate!
