With summer approaching who wants to turn the oven on to bake a cheesecake? This easily constructed nutella no-bake cheesecake will fill the desert void without heating up your house!

Since there is no baking involved construction options abound: from elegant single-serving portions built in a ring mold, to a family pleasing casserole sized option.

The crunchy Oreo cookie base works wonderfully with the Nutella filling, a chocolate base with a hazel nut and cocoa filling… whats not to love? Mixing the Nutella with the whipped topping yields a smooth and creamy middle that rivals the smoothest oven-baked cheesecakes.

Paired with some whipped cream for an additional topping, and a quick drizzle of syrup and you have a winning summer desert for the whole family!
