No Bake Chocolate and Nutella Cheesecake Recipe

If you love Nutella, this NO BAKE Chocolate and Nutella Cheesecake recipe is going to become your new favourite dessert!! Both regular and Thermomix instruction are also included.

I’m often asked what I do with all of the food I make for the blog as there seems to be a never-ending supply of cakes and other treats coming out of the kitchen.  I hate to waste food, so a lot of the time I try and make a few recipes when we are going somewhere or are having friends over and the rest of it ends up going to work with my husband.  I’ve been wanting to make this no bake Chocolate and Nutella Cheesecake recipe for awhile now but hadn’t had a good enough reason to make it, so last Friday night I invited a couple of my good friends over for a dessert night – the perfect excuse!

Along with this amazing Nutella Cheesecake, I also made Double Chocolate Brownies, Strawberry and Cream Cakes and of course no dessert night would be complete without a plate of yummy cheese!

In between all of the talking, we managed to work our way through the desserts.  It was a tough call but this Chocolate and Nutella Cheesecake was popular with both my guests as well as my husband who ate the couple of pieces I had saved in the fridge to send home with the girls for their hubbies.

I think it’s safe to say our dessert night was a success and I think it should become a regular on our calendars.
