I made this for dessert last night since our sons were over for dinner. I thought my son Scott liked Nutella, so when I found this recipe I thought I would make it for him. I found out last night he really doesn't like it....but.....this cheesecake changed all of our minds! It was sinfully delicious!! I don't really care for hazelnut flavoring, but Scott loves it so that is why I thought he liked Nutella. Well.....I am now a convert! This cheesecake is to die for. I had way too much left over and didn't want to be tempted by it, so I cut it up in about 1" pieces and took it to the mall gang today.....they went crazy!!
So you all just give it a try!! It's delicious!!
Enjoy!
