Sweet Treat: No Bake Nutella Cheesecakes

My routine has been so out of whack these past few weeks. Some things, like having extra days off school, have been good. Other things, like late nights at school and getting sick, have not been so good. Although I’m certainly in no hurry for the weekend to go by, I’m looking forward to things getting back to normal. I like my routines!

Last weekend while I had extra time on my hands (a luxury that seems rare) I had the urge to whip up something sweet. After browsing Pinterest for a while (yes, quite a while) I decided on No Bake Nutella Cheesecakes, from the blog MyBaking Addiction. 

These little cheesecakes were easy to make, and they made a wonderfully indulgent dessert for date night. The texture falls somewhere between a dense cheesecake and a light mousse, which contrasts perfectly the Oreo crust and whipped cream topping.

{I did make one change to the original recipe, which added an extra step. Instead of using frozen whipped topping, I whipped up 8 oz. of heavy whipping cream to fold into the Nutella mixture. Then I whipped additional cream for the topping. When it comes to whipped cream, nothing beats the real deal!}
