Nutella Cheesecake Bars Ingredients Needed:

• Chocolate Baking Crumbs: You can swap these with crushed Oreos if you prefer! No need to remove the cream from the middles, either.
• Chocolate: I like to use dark chocolate so it balances out the sweetness of the Nutella.
• Nutella: You can substitute the Nutella with any spread of a similar consistency: peanut butter, cookie butter, etc., for a new twist! 
• Cream Cheese: Note that low fat cream cheese will not yield the same thick and creamy texture.
• Powdered Sugar: Don’t swap this with any other sugar! You need the powder consistency to whip into the other ingredients. Granulated sugar would be gritty.
• Butter: Unsalted butter is preferred.
• Cream: Heavy whipping cream is needed because we whip it to stiff peaks before adding to the cheesecake mixture. A lighter cream will not work.

How to make No Bake Nutella Cheesecake Bars

Take a quick look at just how easy this process is! For more details about ingredient measurements and step by step instructions, scroll down to the recipe card.

• Line a baking pan with tin foil (or parchment). Combine melted butter and chocolate crumbs and press into the bottom of the pan to create the crust.
• Combine chocolate and 1 tbsp cream. Microwave for 45 seconds and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.

• Beat cream cheese until smooth.
• Add in Nutella and powdered sugar and beat until combined.

• Add in cooled chocolate mixture. Beat until smooth.
• In another bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.

• Add to the cream cheese mixture and beat on low until combined.
• Spread the Nutella mixture on top of the crust. Refrigerate at least 8 hours.

Variations and Substitutions

• Nutella: You can swap this with any other spread that has a similar consistency! Cookie butter and smooth peanut butter will both work.
• Berries: I LOVE adding fresh berries on top of this no bake Nutella cheesecake, especially during the summer when they’re nice and fresh. They are the perfect bright contrasting flavor to the rich chocolate!
• Freeze It: If you want the best clean slices, freeze the cheesecake bars for about an hour prior to slicing.
• Gluten Free: If you need to make them gluten free, simply swap out the cookies with gluten free cookies or skip the crust and be sure to check all ingredient labels to ensure they are gluten free.

How to store No Bake Nutella Cheesecake Bars

You can store leftover Nutella cheesecake bars in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2-3 days. Any longer than that and the chocolate crust may begin to get a little too moist.

Can I freeze No Bake Nutella Cheesecake Bars?

Sure thing! Freeze your Nutella cheesecake bars in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Don’t forget to date and label! The best part is that you don’t even need to let them fully defrost because you can serve them partially frozen.

Serving suggestions:

I love piping homemade whipped cream on top of these chocolate cheesecake bars with lots of fresh berries! Some strawberry sauce right on top would also be fabulous!

Looking for additions to add to the ultimate summer dessert spread? Try some fresh fruit with this Cream Cheese Fruit Dip or this Creamy Fruit Salad Recipe instead, along with this Cannoli Dip and our favorite the BEST Easy Cheesecake Recipe! You can even put out a toppings bar for both cheesecakes 🙌
