No Bake Nutella Cheesecakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Crust
12 Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup nutella
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed
Garnish
whipped topping (optional)
chocolate shavings (optional)
hazelnuts, toasted and chopped (optional)
Oreo cookies, chopped (optional)
creme fraiche (optional)

Preparation

In a medium bowl, stir together the Oreo cookie crumbs and butter. Evenly divide the crumbs between individual serving dishes and press into the bottoms of the dishes to form a crust layer.
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and Nutella until smooth. Add vanilla and mix to combine. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped topping until well blended and no streaks remain.
Evenly pipe or spoon the filling into individual serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
If desired, garnish with the topping of your choice.
Note: this desert serves 6 people easily, with some leftover cheesecake mixture -- so depending on the size of the dishes, this could stretch to 8 people. My dishes measured 4-1/4 inches for reference.
