How to make this Ferrero Rocher Cheesecake
This cheesecake consists of mainly two layers; the biscuit base at the bottom and the cream and cheese chocolate layer. You will need to start with the biscuit base. Start by crushing the biscuits and nuts, then melt the butter and chocolate. Combine everything together and place firmly in the springform cake tin. For the cheesecake cream layer, start by mixing together the cream cheese, icing sugar, nutella and the crushed ferrero rocher. In another bowl whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks. Gently fold in the whipped cream with the chocolate cream mixture. Once done, layer it on top the biscuit base and let rest in the fridge or freezer until set. Ideally overnight. Decorate with melted chocolate, crushed hazelnuts and Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
FAQs
How to store this cheesecake?
You can store the cheesecake in the fridge for about 2-3 days. Before decorating it you can also store the cheesecake in the freezer. However, I don’t recommend storing it in the freezer after decorating it as this might alter the texture and taste of the chocolate.
Can I use other types of biscuits?
Most definitely! For mine I have used the basic butter biscuits, however other plain biscuits will work just as great. In addition, for this cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies with hazelnuts will take this cheesecake to a whole new level.
