No bake Chocolate Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake


If you like Ferrero Rochers, chocolate and cheesecake then you are going to LOVE this recipe! I know once you have seen this image you are going to be scrolling down for the recipe. Let me tell you, it was amazingly good. I may have overeaten and had to lay on my back with my jean button undone...but that is okay, it must mean that I enjoyed it! 

Last week I shared with you over on Facebook this picture.




   Many of you were wondering what it was I was whipping up and indulging in. Well you guessed it, it was this Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Cheesecake. I love making homemade cakes for birthday occasions and put my hand up to make this for my sister in law for her birthday. I knew she had a sweet tooth, so would appreciate the richness and chocolate overload (which she did!). It was a success so I thought I would share the recipe with you all. It was a no fail recipe, super easy and delicious. You seriously can't fail a cake that doesn't even require an oven!

So here it is...



No bake Chocolate Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake

Ingredients:
140g unsalted butter melted
250g dry biscuits (milk arrowroot or marie are great!)
500g softened cream cheese
85g icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
15 Ferrero Rocher chocolates (5 roughly chopped, the others used to decorate)
4 tablespoons of chocolate hazelnut spread
25g hazelnuts roughly chopped

Method:
1. Make the cheesecake base: Blitz the biscuits in a food processor to a fine crumb, add the melted butter and pulse until well combined. Tip into a 23cm springform cake tin and press down firmly into the base. Chill while you make the filling.
2. Beat the cream cheese and icing sugar in a bowl to soften. Whisk the cream and vanilla in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese. Stir through the chopped chocolates. Spoon over the biscuit base and smooth with a spatula. Cover with cling film and chill for at least 6 hrs. I left mine overnight to chill, this is ideal to ensure it sets!
3. Once it has set, place the chocolate hazelnut spread in a saucepan and melt over a low heat for 3-4 mins until runny. Allow to cool slightly before spreading over the top of the cheesecake. Decorate with remaining chocolates and some chopped hazelnuts. Chill until ready to serve.


Yep, I was even licking the bowl when making this one. I know you will be too! Enjoy and make sure you don't save it for a special occasion, go right ahead and whip this up 'just because'. Life is too short to be saving anything for the right occasion.

    1. I am sure you could adapt it to suit - mars bars or maltesers or similar perhaps? Once you get googling there will be a flurry of recipes. Hardest bit is choosing! :)

    1. The best bit Fleur is that there is no baking - just requires a fridge to set it. It couldn't be easier :) xA
