Directions:
Hazelnut Crust:
- Grease with vegetable oil a 7in (18cm) round pan with removable bottom. Do not use butter, or the cheesecake will stick to the pan after being refrigerated. Set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, place the chocolate and butter. Melt using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Set it aside.
- Place the hazelnuts in a food processor and process until coarsely ground. Add the chocolate mixture and process until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan (about 1in or 2,5cm).
- Refrigerate for about 20 minutes while making the filling.
Filling:
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Let it cool for a few minutes.
- In a large bowl, place the cream cheese, Nutella, and melted chocolate. Using an electric mixer, beat until well combined and smooth. Note: make sure to use the ingredients at room temperature. If the cream cheese is cold, it will harden the chocolate, and the filling will end up with chocolate lumps.
- Spread the filling evenly over the hazelnut crust. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes.
Topping:
- Place the Nutella in a small bowl and microwave it for about 15 seconds. Stir to loosen it up and make it more spreadable.
- Spread the Nutella evenly on top of the cheesecake and decorate with Ferrero Rocher, alternating between one whole and one half.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until serving time.
