Description

This decadent Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream Cheesecake combines the crunchy texture of honey nut cornflakes with the rich, creamy blend of chocolate hazelnut spread and full-fat cream cheese. It’s a no-bake frozen dessert perfect for chocolate lovers, offering a delightful combination of icy sweetness and nutty crunch with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 200g honey nut cornflakes
  • 200g chocolate hazelnut spread (half a 400g jar)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 x 180g tubs full-fat cream cheese
  • 200g chocolate hazelnut spread (remaining half of a 400g jar)

Topping

  • 1 tbsp roasted and chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Place the honey nut cornflakes and half of the chocolate hazelnut spread in a large bowl. Beat together gently to combine the mixture, allowing some cornflakes to break but keeping most texture. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a 23cm springform tin to form an even crust.
  2. Make the filling: In a separate bowl, beat the full-fat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Fold in the remaining chocolate hazelnut spread carefully to create a uniform chocolate hazelnut cheesecake batter.
  3. Assemble and freeze: Smooth the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared cornflake base. Wrap the springform tin tightly with cling film to prevent freezer burn and place in the freezer overnight to set thoroughly.
  4. Serving: Remove the cheesecake from the freezer about 30 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for easier slicing. Use a sharp knife to cut into slices and sprinkle roasted chopped hazelnuts over the top for garnish. Serve chilled.
  5. Storage: Keep the cheesecake wrapped and stored in the freezer for up to 1 month to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened before beating for a smooth filling.
  • You can substitute full-fat cream cheese with reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter option, though texture may vary.
  • Allow the cheesecake to soften slightly before slicing to get clean, neat slices.
  • Toasting hazelnuts enhances their flavor before chopping and sprinkling.
  • This cheesecake is suitable for making in advance and storing frozen for convenient dessert options.
