A creamy chocolate-hazelnut flavored cheesecake with a chocolate cookie crust cooked in the pressure cooker and topped with a glossy chocolate ganache. Serve with fresh berries!
In a medium bowl, mix together chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well mixed.
Place cookie crumb mixture into a 7 inch springform pan that has been wrapped on the outside with aluminum foil.
Press cookie crumb mixture with the back of a spoon until tightly packed, working up the sides of the pan about 1 inch.
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
Make Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, whip together the softened cream cheese, heavy whipping cream and sugar until well mixed and light and fluffy.
Add in the Nutella, eggs, vanilla and salt and continue to mix until well combined.
Pour cheesecake mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
Place cheesecake in the bottom of the Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi-Cooker and cook on the DESSERT setting for 45 minutes with the steam valve closed.
Carefully remove the cooked cheesecake from the Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi-Cooker and allow to chill completely in the refrigerator for several hours.
Make Chocolate Ganache:
Place heavy whipping cream in a microwave safe bowl and heat for 45 to 60 seconds until warm.
Add the Nutella to the warmed whipping cream and stir to allow the warmed cream to melt the Nutella and create the glaze.
Pour glaze evenly over the top of the chilled cheesecake and allow to drip down the sides.
Place cheesecake back into refrigerator and chill for 30 to 45 minutes to allow the ganache to set up before serving.
Notes
CHOCOLATE GLAZE TIP: Grab a rimmed baking sheet and place the wire rack that came with your Crock-Pot Express Crock Multi-Cooker on top. Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, keeping the cheesecake on the bottom pan.
