Nutella cheesecake
I combined this cheesecake with Nutella and roasted hazelnuts from several different recipes from the internet and the cake is completely to my liking - chocolate flavored, and yet slightly sour and refreshing, with agar instead of gelatin, and topped with chopped roasted hazelnuts! Pure nirvana .. ♥
Preparation steps
- In a blender, mix the biscuits, butter, milk and a spoonful of Nutella. Add 25 g of hazelnuts, then pulse until everything is nicely combined. Press the mass with your fingers into a mold with a collapsible hoop 22 cm in diameter and place in the refrigerator to cool and tighten.
- Whisk the cheese with powdered sugar, add the rest of the Nutella, sifted cocoa and combine everything nicely with a mixer. Stir agar - agar with water, bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cool and add to the mass, then stir carefully to even out the cream.
- Remove the mold in which the base is from the fridge and spread the cream evenly over it. Sprinkle with pieces of roasted hazelnuts (75 g) on top, press a little to stick to the cream, then return to the refrigerator to cool well and tighten overnight.
- The next day, carefully remove the hoop, then adjust and smooth the edges if necessary. Serve a well-chilled cake with coffee, liqueur or some sweet dessert wine ...
Serving
I wrote more about agar-agar here, in the introduction. Ordinary gelatin from a bag can be used instead.
