Mini Nutella Cheesecake {No Bake}

The best, easy, mini no bake Nutella cheesecake recipe with Oreo crust, homemade with simple ingredients. Loaded with a decadent rich, creamy, mousse like hazelnut filling.

Today's recipe is one of the most requested from my family and friends. It looks and tastes as if it may have taken hours of work but in reality, it's super fast to prepare. There is no need to even turn on the oven! I love this as much as my 3 Ingredient Nutella Brownies and these Easy Nutella Cookies (Chocolate Chips) and this Nutella Frosting (Hazelnut Buttercream) and of course these Nutella Cupcakes (With Cake Mix).

How to make easy no bake Nutella cheesecake recipe from scratch?

1. Spread Oreo crust mixture- In cupcake pan.
2. Chill- Until firm.
3. Prepare cheesecake mixture- Fill in piping bag.
4. Pipe filling- On top of individual mini crusts.
5. Decorate- With sprinkles.

Variations

• Make a large cheesecake- Spread cookie mixture in a 9 inch round pan. Then, spread cheesecake mixture on top. Chill. Cut slices and enjoy.
• Cheesecake bars or bites- Spread cookie crust mixture in an 8 inch rectangle pan. Spread cheesecake mixture on top. Chill. Then, cut small bite sized pieces.
• Cheesecake dip- Omit the crust and serve the cheesecake mixture in a bowl with Oreo cookies on the side, similar to my Chocolate Fruit Dip.
• Add toppings- I used chocolate sprinkles but you can also use other shapes and colors of sprinkles, chopped nuts (especially hazelnuts), shaved chocolate, chocolate curls, chopped up candy bars, whipped cream. A light drizzle of or Dulce De Leche, Chocolate Ganache or warm Nutella is also delicious or you can even try this Nutella Syrup. You can even decorate with a Ferrrero Rocher candy ball.
• Try a different crust- Instead of making an Oreo crust, use a Graham Cracker Crust. You can also try my Flaky Butter Pie Crust but that would mean you have to Blind Bake Pie Crust first, which is additional work.
• Try a different cheese- Instead of cream cheese, use mascarpone cheese.

Tips and techniques

• Can I use whipped cream instead of Cool Whip? Yes, make Homemade Whipped Cream and when stiff peaks form, fold it into the filling.
• What to do if filling is too thin to pipe? Chill the cheesecake mixture in the fridge for 20-30 minutes so that it firms up a bit and then you can easily pipe.
• Measure properly- This is especially with regards to Nutella. It is ¾ cup, NOT 1 cup. Adding a whole cup will make the mixture thin and you will have to fix it by adding more powdered sugar to thicken it. That will obviously change the flavor and make the filling sweeter.
