Nutella Chocolate Cheesecake

It's possible I have a small Nutella obsession.  ;)  Nutella in a no bake chocolate cheesecake...it's made of win I tell you!  This cheesecake is a little heavy on the powdered sugar but it started out as leftover frosting so I didn't have much control over that element at the time.  You just can't waste good frosting...it's a crime against nature...ehehehe. 


Nutella Chocolate Cheesecake

Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (I used one sleeve)
3 tbls tub margarine
2 tbls sugar

Mix everything together and press firmly into pie plate.  Let chill in fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.


Filling:
4oz reduced fat cream cheese
1/4 cup Smart Balance 50/50 butter blend
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
6oz melted milk chocolate
1/4 cup Nutella

Blend together cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla.  Mix in melted chocolate and Nutella.  Spoon over crust and spread evenly.

Fudge Glaze:
14 oz non fat sweetened condensed milk
6 oz milk chocolate chips
6 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup evaporated milk (more if you wish a thinner glaze)

In a bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla. Heat in the microwave, stirring at 30 second intervals. You should only need about a minute or so for your chocolate to melt. Stir in marshmallows and mix until they melt into your chocolate. You may need to heat just a bit more in the microwave to get the marshmallows fully melted...be careful not to overheat. Spoon as much glaze as you want on top of the cheesecake layer.  You will have plenty leftover, but it freezes nicely to be used on future goodies.

Chill until chocolate sets.  Slice and then serve.


A couple more pics of the yummies....

So pretty with giant wedges of chocolaty goodness....before I did the sensible thing and cut smaller pieces.  Sensible eating.  I feel dirty and not in the good way.  ;)  Honestly I should have put it together in a pie plate instead of a deep plate, but I was in lazy mode so it didn't occur to me to dig one out...ehehehe.

I cut the cheesecake into fairly small slices since it's so rich.  Of course I can always go back for seconds, but I will console myself that the pieces are so tiny it doesn't count....rofl.
