Step-by-Step Instructions for The Ultimate Nutella Cheesecake
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden.
  2. While the crust bakes, preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare the filling ingredients.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add eggs, mixing well after each addition. Gently stir in Nutella until creamy.
  4. Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
  5. Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for about an hour, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
