Amazing mini Nutella cheesecake that is rich, creamy, sweet, and easy to make.
Nutella cheesecake—one of the most iconic and popular Nigella Lawson’s recipe—is one of the most popular recipes on Rasa Malaysia.
Ever since my contributor CP Choong shared her Nutella Cheesecake recipe here, we have gotten so many comments on successful attempts and questions about the recipe.
One of the questions is whether or not we can adapt the recipe into a mini-sized Nutella Cheesecake, especially made for special occasions like parties, etc.
So I asked my contributor to adapt the recipe and make it into mini Nutella Cheesecake, and I am so glad that she did.
Just look at these gorgeous food porn, don’t you just want to eat them right off the monitor?
My 3-year old has recently acquired a liking of Nutella and this makes a very toddler (especially picky eater) friendly dessert.
Nutella is choked full of hazelnut which is great, and cheese is generally nutritious for kids.
Of course, you don’t feed your kids this type of dessert every day but once in a while, I think it’s fine.
You can feel free to adjust the level of sugar to your liking so it’s not overly sweet as we all know too much sugar kills.
Anyway, this mini Nutella Cheesecake is utterly sinful, delicious, and decadent.
I only wished that my contributor lives closer so I could taste her creations.
However, this is a super easy recipe to make because there is no baking involved, you just mix all the ingredients together, chill them and you have the most delicious cheesecake EVER!
Try this mini Nutella Cheesecake recipe, indulge and enjoy.

Mini Nutella Cheesecake
Equipment
- 2 12 spot mini cheesecake pan
Ingredients
- 10 oz (300g) graham crackers
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, soft
- 13 oz (400g) Nutella, at room temperature
- ¾ cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 1 lb (500g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Break the graham cracker into the bowl of a processor, add the butter and 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of Nutella, and blitz until it starts to clump. Add 25 g (1 oz) / 3 tablespoons of the hazelnuts and continue to pulse until you achieve a damp, sandy mixture.
- Lightly grease the mini cheesecake pan. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the crumbs into each cup and press them into the base using your hands or the back of a spoon. Place the pan in the fridge to chill.
- Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then add the remaining Nutella to the cream cheese mixture and continue beating until well combined.
- Remove the mini cheesecake pans from the fridge and carefully smooth the Nutella mixture over the bases, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Place the pans back in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight. For best results, serve straight from the fridge.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and garnish with the remaining chopped hazelnuts.

Lightly grease the mini cheesecake pan.
What do you nean by grease lightly? Using butter or what?
Plus if use muffin paper cups, will the nutella n cheese stick to it or not?
Yes using butter or cooking/baking spray. Yes it will.
How much whipping cream
As little or as much as you want. Totally up to you.
Today me and a friend made this recipe and it was easy and absolutely delicious, this is probably my favorite dessert now!
I had a problem with the base because the recipe says to use 10 oz of cookies and 5 tablespoons of butter, turned out that it was too much cookies and not so much butter so the base wasn’t hard.
agree with rose. tried the same receipe out and found that there was enough butter to make the base stay together.. thankfully i have made cheesecake before so i added more butter. however, likewise, I followed the instructions and had way too much Nutella. after leaving in the fridge for more than 6 hours, my cheesecake looked more like a mousse
I don’t understand why there are problems, as many others have tried with great success…
Let me start by saying that if you follow the above recipe, you will make 24 mini’s and 12 regualr sized (muffin trays).
I would also like to say that following and weighing the measurements out EXACTLY, there was hardly enough butter in the graham crackers to form a solid base. After 18hrs of being in the fridge – when I picked them up, the crust crumbled.
Lastly, too much nutella in this recipe. the creamcheese/nutella mixture never got hard when cooled.
Summary: use less Nutella, use MORE butter in the graham crackers (I would even bake them next time), and downsize the entire recipe, unless you’re throwing a party!
