Step-by-Step Instructions
Now that you know the key ingredients, let’s walk through the steps to create this mouthwatering cheesecake.
1. Prepare the Biscuit Base
Blitz the Digestive Biscuits: In a food processor, blitz the biscuits until they form fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the biscuits in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix with Butter: Combine the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until evenly coated.
Press into Tin: Press the biscuit mixture into the base of an 8”/20cm deep springform tin. Ensure the base is even and compact, then refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
Whisk the Cream Cheese, Nutella, and Sugar: In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese, Nutella, icing sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
Add Double Cream: Gradually pour in the double cream while continuing to whisk on medium speed (a KitchenAid mixer on level 6 works well). Whisk until the mixture is thick and holds its shape.
Pro Tip: It’s better to under-whip than over-whip the mixture. Stop whisking when it reaches a thick consistency; over-whipping can cause the filling to become too dense.
Fold in Ferrero Rocher: Gently fold in the chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Spread Over Biscuit Base: Spoon the cheesecake mixture onto the chilled biscuit base and smooth it out with a spatula. Place the cheesecake in the fridge to set for at least 5-6 hours, but for the best results, leave it overnight.
3. Decorate the Cheesecake
Drizzle with Melted Nutella: Once the cheesecake has set, drizzle melted Nutella over the top for a glossy, luxurious finish.
Add Ferrero Rocher and Hazelnuts: Arrange whole Ferrero Rocher chocolates in a ring around the edge of the cheesecake. Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts over the top for added texture and visual appeal.
