Light and fluffy Nutella filling tops a sweet Oreo cookie crust in these easy and delicious No-Bake Nutella Cheesecakes. If you love the combination of chocolate and hazelnuts, this recipe is for you!
I don’t know what the weather is like near you, but it is BLAZIN’ hot here in Ohio. Like you don’t even want to go outside hot.
While Ohio is definitely no stranger to the summer heat, it’s been in the 90’s for what seems like weeks.
And when you happen to have a husband that is most comfortable with a thermostat set to 75 during the day, flipping on the oven to make a cheesecake might just not my best choice.
Hello, No Bake Nutella Cheesecake.
No-bake nutella cheesecake recipe
We can never have too many no-bake recipes, right?
I hope you agree, because I sure do love making recipes like this No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake recipe.
Why do I love no-bake cheesecake recipes so much?
- They’re quick and easy – you can even whip them up on a weeknight
- They don’t require me to turn on the oven in the middle of summer
- There are so many variations you can make!
This version combines my love affair with no-bake and my love affair with all things Nutella.
The first time I made No-Bake Nutella Cheesecakes, I whipped them up from ingredients I happened to have on hand in my pantry and fridge. I almost always have a jar of Nutella, a package of Oreos, cream cheese, and frozen whipped topping hanging around.
Between the fluffy Nutella filling and the chocolatey Oreo crust, these cheesecakes are pretty much impossible to resist. I like to top them with extra whipped topping and some chocolate shavings just before serving.
Can I use whipped cream instead of whipped topping?
I know not everyone is a fan of frozen whipped topping and some of you might want to use homemade whipped cream in this recipe instead.
Whipped topping has stabilizers in it that help it hold up when folded into recipes like this one. Since whipped cream does not have any stabilizers in it, I can’t promise that it will hold up as well while the cheesecakes chill before serving.
There are some recipes for making stabilized whipped cream at home, but I personally have not tried using the homemade stuff in my no-bake cheesecake recipes.
Can I make this recipe into one large cheesecake?
I like to make this recipe into individual No-Bake Nutella Cheesecakes by putting them into small serving dishes. Depending on the size dishes I use, I usually get 4-6 servings.
You could even make the servings even smaller for a party by putting them into shot glasses.
But you can also make this into one big cheesecake by putting it into an 8-inch pie plate instead of the individual dishes.

This recepie looks very very good. Just one question: if I use homemade whipping cream, should I add sugar to it or I can use it sugarfree? Thanks.
Hi, Gaby! Do you want to use homemade whipped cream instead of the frozen whipped topping? I’ve never tried this method, so I’m not sure how the cheesecake will set up. If you decide to try it with whipped cream, I would mix it together as shown and then taste it to see if you need to add sugar. Good luck!

Hello-
The best way to convert recipes it to use google. I am not familiar with Nutri Whip, so I am unsure if that will be a good substitute. As long as the cream is stable, you should be fine. Thanks for stopping by.

Has anyone tried freezing without the whipped cream topping so they can be made ahead of time for a bridal shower?
Hi, Mary! If you mean the whipped topping garnish, then yes, you can freeze them. Definitely include the whipped topping in the filling. I hope you enjoy them!
Has anyone tried making these vegan by using vegan cream cheese and coconut whipped cream? Justin’s makes a dairy free chocolate hazelnut butter to use in place of Nutella.
What is frozen whipped topping? Can one use fresh cream?
Hi, Melissa! Frozen whipped topping is the same as Cool Whip. I haven’t tried fresh cream, so I don’t really know how it will hold up. I hope you enjoy them!
Hi. Came across this recipe and it sounds devine, so I thought I’d try it out. Just wanted to know if I can use fresh cream or double cream for the “whipped topping”. Also, what consistency should it be?
Thank you
Anisa-
I have not attempted this with heavy cream, but others have reported that it’s super delicious, but not incredibly stable, so it needs to be enjoyed right after making it. If you give it a shot, let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

OMG! I am here re reading the instructions as I am going to make these tonight. I have had a wee bit of wine and I read it as “In a large bowl, with an eccentric mixer, beat the cream cheese” and I thought to myself, “Geez, this hipster thing is going way too far. Why would I need an eccentric mixer?” And then I realized my mistake….. can’t wait to make these with my normal mixer :D
Ha, Melaniejoy! I never met an eccentric mixer I didn’t like! ;)
I was also wondering about the creme insides of the Oreo cookie!!
Will be making this tomorrow! !!
Patti-
Thanks for stopping by. This recipe includes the entire Oreo. Happy Baking.

Jamie,
Have you made this with fat free cool whip and cream cheese? I’m just wondering if it would still come together the same if I tried to cut out some of the fat.
Thanks!
Joanna
Joanna-
I haven’t tested with the fat free ingredients, but I’d love to know how it turns out if you try it.

Hello, I planning on making this tomorrow for my mothers birthday but want it as a family sized one..how do i go about ingredients??? HELP
Mariah-
This recipe will serve 4-6 so you could put it into one serving dish instead of individual serving dishes for a family-size. Also it should be simple to double if you need more. I hope this helps.
