Name: Nigella Lawson's No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake
Cuisine: British
Ingredients: 250 gram digestive biscuits (one 8.8-ounce package), or substitute graham crackers or chocolate wafer cookies; 75 gram (5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon) soft unsalted butter; 400 gram (one 371-gram jar is fine) Nutella, at room temperature, divided; 100 gram (2/3 cup) hazelnuts, well-toasted and chopped (see note), divided; 500 gram (two 8-ounce packages is fine) cream cheese, at room temperature; 60 gram (1/2 cup) confectioners' sugar, sifted

Instructions

"I don’t know if I should apologise for this or boast about it. Either way, I feel you will thank me for it. The thing is, it’s embarrassingly easy to make and is just the sort of count-no-calories indulgence that the season demands. Don’t be tempted to let the cheesecake come to room temperature before serving. It slices and tastes better with a bit of fridge-chill on it." Recipe adapted slightly from Nigellissima (Clarkson Potter, 2013).
