Preparation
FOR CRUST
- Crush the Oreo cookies: If you have a food processor, place the Oreo cookies in the processor and pulse until they are finely ground. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they become fine crumbs.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Mix well until all the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
- Press the mixture into the pan: Take your 6-inch removable bottom pan and transfer the Oreo mixture into it. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom of the pan. Make sure the crust is compacted and reaches the edges.
- Place the pan with the Oreo crust in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
FOR NUTELLA CHEESECAKE MOUSSE
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, mascarpone and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add Nutella and continue beating until well combined and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella mixture until fully incorporated.
- Take the crust out of the refrigerator and pour the Nutella filling over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator and let it set for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
FOR CHOCOLATE GANACHE
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, semi-sweet chocolate, and Nutella.
- Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it on high for 15 seconds.
- Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and give the mixture a stir.
- Place the bowl back in the microwave for another 15 seconds.
- Once again, remove the bowl from the microwave and stir until all the chocolate is melted and well combined.
- Take your chilled cheesecake and pour the melted chocolate mixture over it.
- Return the cheesecake to the fridge and let it chill for an additional 30 minutes. Enjoy!
