Baked By An Introvert Nutella Cheesecake

Ingredients

For the crust, you’ll need:

1 1/2 cups (188g) graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup (50g) white sugar
6 tablespoons (84g) melted butter

For the filling, you’ll need:

3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (200g) white sugar
3/4 cup (170g) Nutella
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large eggs

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan with butter and set aside.

In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, white sugar, and melted butter until combined. The mixture should be the consistency of wet sand. Pour the mixture into the prepared springform pan and press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and white sugar on medium speed until fluffy. Add in the Nutella and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add in the flour, beat until just combined. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating until just combined after each addition. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.

Bake for 40 minutes, or until the center is almost set. The cheesecake should still jiggle slightly when done. Remove from the oven and cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
