Description

A decadent dessert featuring a creamy cheesecake filling swirled with rich Nutella, set on a buttery graham cracker crust. These cheesecake bars are easy to make and perfect for any occasion. The Nutella creates a beautiful marbled effect, making every bite a blend of smooth, creamy, and chocolate-hazelnut goodness.


Ingredients

  • Cream Cheese (16 oz)
  • Granulated Sugar (3/4 cup)
  • Eggs (2 large)
  • All-Purpose Flour (1/4 cup)
  • Vanilla Extract (1 tsp)
  • Nutella (1 cup)
  • Graham Cracker Crumbs (1 1/2 cups)
  • Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool.
  3. Prepare the filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Pour half the filling over the cooled crust.
  4. Add Nutella: Spoon Nutella onto the filling and swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
  5. Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly. Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
  • Don’t overmix the Nutella, as this may ruin the marbled appearance.
  • Chill the cheesecake bars overnight for the best flavor.
