Kieran's favourite
This is a recipe adapted from Nigella Lawson's Nutella Cheesecake. Kieran only likes his cheesecake with an Oreo crust. He doesn't like the digestive biscuit crust, so I hide the other biscuits in a mixture of oreos and digestive biscuits (and some times marie biscuits)
Ingredients (serves 4-6)
Mixture of digestive biscuits, oreos, marie biscuits making up 125g (more oreos for a darker crust)
32g butter (melted)
200g Nutella
50g chopped nuts (I use whatever nuts I have on hand)
250g (1 pack) Philadelphia cream cheese (at room temperature)
1 tbsp icing sugar (I taste the mixture first before adding this in)
Method
- Blitz the biscuits and nuts in a food processor, add butter (if using mostly digestive & marie biscuits, then add 1 tbsp of Nutella into the mix).
- Pour the sandy mixture into a springform tin (or a regular tin lined with aluminum foil, leave extra foil on the sides to lift the cake out easily when serving). Press the mixture down with a back of a spoon. Leave in fridge to chill until ready to add cream cheese mixture.
- Beat cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth, then add the remaining Nutella to the mixture. Continue beating until combined.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared cookie base.
- Scatter some chopped nuts over the top (I skip this for one half usually cos the boys won't eat it once they see the nuts). *optional: can also drizzle some chocolate sauce and top with chocolate chips.
- Leave in fridge overnight.
- Serve straight from fridge for best results.
