Indulge in this creamy recipe for Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi-Cooker Nutella Cheesecake! A rich chocolate-hazelnut cheesecake topped with a luscious chocolate ganache!
Pressure Cooker Nutella Cheesecake
My favorite dessert, hands down is cheesecake. I LOVE a good cheesecake. So when Crock-Pot came to me with the option to create a couple of recipes using their Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi-Cooker I just knew I had to make a cheesecake.
And you know what is better than cheesecake? Nutella cheesecake!
That’s right, a chocolate hazelnut cheesecake with a chocolate cookie crust and to take it over the top…a glossy chocolate ganache.
It’s a triple chocolate threat that comes out rich and creamy and cooked to perfection in the Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi-Cooker!
It makes a great dessert for just about any day of the week that you are craving a little something sweet and creamy. But is fancy enough for special occasions like date night or even the holidays!
