Blogging Marathon# 55: Week 2/ Day 3
Theme: Nutella Galore
Dish: No-Bake Nutella Cheesecake
Here’s another lip smacking dessert using Nutella, a no-bake cheesecake. I usually plan the dishes to make for the marathon, well ahead of time. But for this week except for the muffins I made for the first day, I had nothing planned for the next 2 days. I was able to make the s’mores based on my son’s tv show, but I was clueless as to what to make for today.
Then I saw this no-bake Nutella cheesecake on Pinterest and made it right away to make sure I don’t change my mind 🙂 Original recipe used frozen whipped topping, but I didn’t want to wait for the whipped topping to thaw, so I whipped fresh cream and folded it into the nutella-creamcheese mixture.
My mouth started watering just thinking of this yummy dessert. It’s creamy and absolutely delicious. The quantities I used made just about 3 tiny portions and my kids and I shared them for dessert. It is a great dish to make ahead of time and serve at parties.
Recipe adapted from here:

This looks absolutely divine! Btw, the recipe doesnt show the no. of cups for nutella and cream. On a side note, looking at all the nutella based recipes, I went in for a nutella banana milkshake for breakfast this morning :D.
